Title: To Eric : about clicking other tracks while playing
Post by: PeterSt on May 07, 2010, 06:20:29 pm
Hi Eric - look here :



Hey Eric,

Sorry that I summarized some things, but I want to make clear what can and what cannot work.
So, right now I show the currently playing track at the bottom (can undo that in a second, and it only shows (me) what will be happening).

Allright, if you look below first pic, you see 02-Call the Doctor.wav playing (the .wav may go, and "Album" should be named differently). Now, whether I click another track or scroll to it with the arrow buttons, another track will get highlighted. In my case track 07. The track title at the bottom won't change from that. The time scale does though and I guess I can do something about that. However ...

The inherent mechanism (and that won't be changed) causes the highlighted track to be played next. A, say, DJ-like. :)
So what I mean is that clicking this other track is nothing for returning to where you were (playing), and it is an awkward thing in the end. It will work though, if you only click on the playing track before it ends playing or otherwise the current highlighted track will (second pic below).

Allright ?
Or ... maybe I add a rightclick option "return to playing track" ? :grazy: I'm not sure though whether I can get that into focus again (that it shows in the visible area). These kind of things are not 100% decent for the means I use ...

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand what you are saying. No problem with the way it has been setup. When you would also show the currently playing track at the bottom (like in the picture), I would be more than satisfied.
Next version, hopefully?

Cheers, Eric.


Because I expect that users can have huge difficulties because -so far- it is allowed to click on a track not playing, I just eliminated every result coming from that. So, you can click the other track, but it won't have any effect at all anymore. You can scroll through the tracks in the Playlist Area though. Now :

While above quote is from the middle of some random topic, I didn't look up what your real needs were to this respect;
Can you please judge whether what I just said would hurt those needs in some way ? If nothing, I'll let it stay how I just changed it.
But if so, your (renewed) explanation may let me think about another solution.

Thanks !
Peter

Peter,
I am happy with the way you implemented my wish to show the currently playing track.
The information at the right bottom of the screen is clear. No further requirements from my side (yet :)).
Cheers
Eric
