Bugzilla – Bug 4528
Favorites Should be Per user
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:24:57 UTC
We have four Squeeze Boxes in use by four family members. It would be extremely helpful if each of those family members could maintain their own set of favorites. For example, when pressing the Favorites button on my remote, I don't want to see somebody else's favorites. I want to see my favorites. Favorites should really be implemented per player. Whether selecting favorites from the remote or from the web interface, the favorites for the currently selected player should be displayed.
I don't think this would be wise, as it would be a half-step to what really needs to be done and would probably hamper the ability to implement that enhancement. What is really needed are per-user settings (user profiles) and then the ability to tie a player to a particular user. That enhancement addresses a million similar concerns, such as different libraries for different users, different playlists, different display preferences, different everything... See bug 825.
I added a note to that bug as well. That'll ping Dean on the topic and make it easier to find this report.
