[mythtv] MythMusic: Some thoughts!

[Kenneth Aafløy]

Hi again,

been using MythMusic tonight, and I just wanted to bring forth some of my
thoughts about usability. First off, I suggest that on the main playscreen,
the 1:Shuffle, 2:Repeat, 3:Edit, 4:Visualize are replaced with a menu.
Probably arranged so: Edit, Shuffle, Repeat, Visualize. Movement in the
playlist should be improved with cellphone (2-abc,3-...) like searching.
Also I would have been impressed with a sort of mixed breed view, where one
can choose to view playlists, current playlist, songcollection.

When it comes to the 'Select Music' view, I would like to see multiple
'sorts' of my music. Like 'Artist/Album/Song', 'Genre/Artist/Song',
'Album/Song'. What if we could define the collection we would like in the
selection string (revert to normal view if user does not specify multiple
views with ';'): 'By Genre/Genre/Artist/Song;By Album/Artist/Song' would be
listed as:

My Music
    By Genre
        Artist
            Song
    By Album
        Artist
            Song
Playlists
...

Also, removal of the buttons 1,2,3,4 would have provided more space for
playlist and such...

Kenneth.
