I am working on an email to send to Lumin for some app enhancements, and describe some bugs I found. It occurred to me some of you might have some ideas to be included, so if you do then list them and I will send if off around Thursday next week.
App 3.0.7
Enhancements:
I would love an iPhone app along with the iPad app. It just needs basic functionality such as to be able to select, edit, and create playlists, start, stop, and pause songs. I don't care about album art so don't waste screen space on that. This is my biggest want. I hate using the iPad as a remote. See the mPod app for the Bryston file players for an example of an iPhone app.
When using random shuffle for playlists (assume 200 song size) the display on the left does not update to the current playing song if that song is not in the current 15 songs being displayed. Pressing the track number bottom at the bottom will update the display. Please update the display automatically when a new song starts.
It would be nice if the time counter had a reverse option where instead of displaying how long a song has played it displayed how much time is left. I always set my DVD/BR player to this option.
Currently, I use a direct attached USB drive with top level directories labeled as Classical, Jazz, Rock, etc. I would like to be able to select a directory, such as Classical, and then create a playlist of all files in the sub directories. Now, I have to go to the lowest level directory containing a single CD files to play any or all files. For example, I have a Patricia Barber directory with numerous sub directories of individual CDs. I want to press on Patricia Barber and play all of her CDs.
Bugs:
Bug 1: On random play, I expect each song to play once, and the playlist stop after all songs have been played. The current software can repeat a song before playing all songs.
Bug 2: On a three song playlist, set to random, only two played.
Bug 3: After using the trash can ICON to clear a playlist, and starting another playlist on random play, occasionally a song from the previous 'deleted' playlist plays. You need to load/delete the new playlist 3-4 times to insure the first playlist is really deleted. The memory used by a playlist needs to be reclaimed before loading a new playlist.
Note: Bug 1 might be related to Bug 3 if the playlist is still in memory from a previous time.
