Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, I just copied a music folder to my OneDrive folder, added it as a synced folder and I can see the song in my library and play it.

 

Yep. Thats what I am talking about. Awhile ago I tried MusicBee and it couldn't read any of my music in onedrive.

Do you perhaps have the tracks only available online? Other than that I can't think why it wouldn't but Dopamine certainly worked OK for me, but it was available offline.

I'm talking about volume ... and yup, it is supposed to :rofl:

 

ohw volume! Don't know why I had play next/prev in my head. It's because of such question which was posted a while ago.

Yes, at the moment volume can be controlled by mouse scroll when the volume popup is opened. Should I allow scrolling to change the volume when the mouse is anywhere inside the mini player?

Hi all,

 

What do you think of this? The "playlist" view might still change, I'm not completely convinced. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

 

Edit: video was broken. It should now work.

Is there an option to specify the sort for albums under artists view? It looks to be alphabetical but was wondering if you can specify, say year instead?

 

Also, is it possible to deselect all selected albums in that same view?  It seems once one is selected, you can't deselect it to see all the song listings on the side unless you go to another artist first, then come back.

 

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

does your player support replaygain, if not any plans to support it?

 

I'd like to. But I still have a lot to learn before even considering this.

Sort for albums is not possible yet. I want to add it though, but I'm currently stuck at limitation of the control which I use to display the albums. I'll have to create a new control and use some trickery. So this feature is delayed until other basic features are implemented.

 

Deselecting can be done in 2 ways:

 

Option 1: ctrl+click

Option 2: click the "Artists" or "Albums" titles above the artists and albums lists

I have a suggestion if this has not already been suggested.

 

I just hooked back up to my NAS so had to do a rescan - not a problem, but when I chose to play an album with the autoscan running, every time it refreshed, it took me out of the album view.  So, I had to hunt it down again to get to the next song. 

When you click on playlist ... the text animates up from the bottom over the album art 

 

The animation may (and I mean 'may') look better if the album art moved down and faded out, to reveal the static text list behind it. You did ask for suggestions  :shifty:

 

Indeed I did ask :) Suggestion very welcome. I'll probably try it after release of the next build. I want to get this out the door asap, but still have to fine-tune the indexer.

It has been suggested indded and will probably be disabled in the next build. I'd like to do some kind of update of the lists, without reloading them completely. However that probably be for later.

Not sure if you want bugs posted on here, but I happened upon a crash.  I was just going through the artists tab and when I selected an album with one song, it didn't display anything.  I clicked the album and it crashed.  Here is the log entry for that time:

I reloaded the app and went back to that artist and everything worked from then on out.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
