|
First, a question: How does one remove crap from the favorites list? I'ze gots me a couple losers in there...
Second, a suggestion: What if the favorites list could optionally display the track's genre? As the list grows, we're bound to forget what track is what genre, and you can't always tell by the name... And there's nothing worse than trying to req some bRuTaL ass grindcore mayhem, but ending up with a slow ass funeral doom piece. (Don't get me wrong, funeral doom is great, but only at the right time.)
Let's take it a bit further... What if the genre was displayed next to the band name in the alphabetical catalog listing? That's be freakin' great too. |

To delete something from the list of favorites, press the "Detail" icon of the desired track/album. The "Detail" column is the rightmost in the faves table. Pressing that icon will display the chosen track or album in the "Track/Album Detail" section to the right of the table (where the album cover image is displayed). Then you can delete it from the "Track/Album Detail" section by clicking on the "X" icon above the cover image.
Displaying the genre in there sounds like a nice idea. We'll see what Pesa has to say about it

Similar question:
How does one easily change the order of favorites?
Right now I only know of the tedious way of moving one song one rank at a time. I'd really like an accurate presentation of my favorites instead of having the same album's songs one right after the other, but doing it the current way would take hours to accomplish. |

This can be done from the "Track/Album Details" section, too. Notice the icons above the album cover image, specifically the first three controls to the left. Once you select the desired track/album you can either click the arrows to move it up or down in the list, or simply enter the new position number in the text field you see there and press "go" to make the change.

It does not seem to have, or maybe I cannot find, a way to slect the track I want to set a number for it. It seems to only have the track currently ranked number one. Also, when I switch to albums, it stays on tracks and won't switch to albums so that I can fix their rank manually.
The answer is probably right there and easy to find, but often the most obvious answer is impossible to see.  |

The list of favorites is displayed in a table. The column headings are:- # - the current position in the list. Clicking on the heading will switch between ascending/descending ordering
- Request - contains the request buttons. This only appears in the list of favorite tracks. In the list of album favorites, it is replaced by a column with no heading which contains album cover thumbnails that will take you to the album details in the playlist when you click on it
- Favorite Tracks (or "Favorite Albums") - the track name, album and artist
- Length - the track length (only for songs, this does not appear in the list of favorite albums)
- Buy - contains buttons that link to Amazon, so that you can easily buy the track or album if you want to
- Detail - in this column theire is an "Information" sign (an "i" inside a circle). Clicking on this info icon will display the track or album in the details area to the right, where you can remove it from the list or change its position
Perhaps it would be easier to deal with these operations if the icons would have tooltips, so I'll pass this information to Pesa.
I hope this helps

And then there are those of us who could give a rat's ass about what other members' favorites are, or their own for that matter.

Bah! You guys probably also use Facebook, Myspace and all that other social networking crap so that your life is an open book on the interweb.

It's not "social networking"... Check this out to find out what it is.
