Of course I don't, and I've avoided making complaints about your
code or interface other than to say it's not my taste and see if
anyone knows of an alternative. In fact I'm sick and tired of
hearing people coming out with this trite "Do you want your money
back" comment whenever someone mentions there's something they
don't like about a feature within MythTV (or other software), it's
simply puerile. I've not once in all the emails I've sent on the
subject complained about your version of MythMusic, and in this
particular thread I've merely tried to be helpful to the person
who originally sent the query. If you wish to take any of my
comments about the old MythMusic interface being easier as a
personal slight then that's up to you, as I say I've slavishly
tried to avoid getting involved in the flame wars around MythMusic
as I don't believe it's helpful.<br>

I think you missed the smiley :) I didn't take what you said as a
slight. I'm sorry you got the impression I was in some way
attacking you from my reply I wasn't. Maybe it's my northern sense
of humour :)<br>

I'm not sure what you mean by the "buttonlist" search, if that's
the name you give to the current alpha search order of artists,
then I would disagree, it's laborious to scroll through if you
have a large number of entries, so while you may like it I doubt
anyone else enjoys have to wade through the list looking for
entries. You've explained before that the current setup is your
personal preference, and that's fine, but only for you and
like-minded folks. For the rest of us it's less than optimal, and
lacking the requisite coding expertise we don't have much option
but to put up with your own interface style choices or go find
another option. If this is another option other than the alpha
list I mentioned then I'm not familiar with it.<br>
<br>

No, I'm taking about the buttonlist search feature available on all
button lists not just those in MythMusic. When a button list has
focus you can press the SEARCH key binding (Ctrl+S not sure if that
is the default key) or in MythMusic you can press MENU then Search
List ... you can then enter the text you want to search for and move
to the next/previous match. It _is_ easier with a keyboard which is
why I said it's not ideal.<br>
<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:509433C2.10607@googlemail.com" type="cite"> As
for your comment that you're open to sensible ideas? How about an
option that replicates the old MythMusic interface, or at least
something mostly like it? I'm perfectly serious here, if there was
an option that could be set so that MythMusic simply listed the
directory structure and when an element of that structure was
"selected" it played all music files under than element, that
would be perfect. Personally I've never had time for playlists, I
tried them but never went back to them on either MythMusic or my
MP3 players or my PC. I have no objection to someone else using
them if they wish, and applaud anyone who adds the functionality
to their player as it increases the likelihood that "general
users" will like their player, however it's not for me, again, my
choice so I have to live with it. On a similar note I don't like
the Amarok interface, but find XMMS simple and efficient, perhaps
I'm just too old fashioned and stuck in my ways, who knows.<br>
<br>

<br>
Ha Ha. I said sensible idea :) You can browse the directory tree and
add the tracks below the current node/directory to the active
playlist, that was one of the concessions added to keep the peace.
Little good it did me :(. That's something probably only available
in 0.26 though.<br>

find your predictions about MythTV in general rather
disheartening, I certainly hope that MythTV continues to be
successful and grow/develop as I and my family / friends find it
to be an excellent media player, so hopefully you're wrong there.<br>

<br>
Don't get me wrong I'm as sad about what's happening as you. I'm
only repeating what I've heard from elsewhere. Normally after a long
freeze and release you get a spurt of commits that devs have saved
up during the freeze and weren't able to commit but this time its
eerily quite. <br>

Anyway, I've desperately tried to keep out of the flame wars
around MythMusic, so let's just leave it at that. If I've upset
anyone in trying to assist the person who originally posted the
question then I apologize, maybe I'm just cranky because it takes
me so long to scroll down the list of "Artists" in MythMusic
(sorry, couldn't resist than one!).<br>
