Description Dominic Evans 2008-02-06 13:11:42 UTC
I have 3 'zones' - SB3, SBr, Softsqueeze and i hope to add another SBr to the kitchen, making 4. It would be nice to have a quick way of seeing what's playing in each room/zone more quickly at the same time. I realise i can Change Player and go in into now playing, but i would have to do that 4 times. It would be nice to also have a screen similar to Now Playing, but displaying on one screen what ALL players are currently playing. Maybe even be able to switch to that player from this screen.

Also, as suggested on the forum by dwilliams01, "Another activity there would be to allow one to be picked and all others sync'd to it. It would also be handy if the volume/pause controls operated on the currently highlighted one, etc."

I think it would be a great applet that could query all the players and display player name, song title/artist/album and artwork in the same view that you see when you browse albums.  Choosing one of those could be akin to switching players.  

This could be an enhancement to the choose players applet or a replacement altogether.
