Description Matt Wise 2008-02-08 11:05:12 UTC
As a user playing in (for example) Random Mix -> Albums ... if I get to an album like Ozzy where I might have 14 songs, and I don't want to listen to any Ozzy at the time ... I should be able to skip the entire album instead of one song at a time. I would suggest a Double-Click of the FWD button, but anything will due. This is quite annoying when you have a long Comedy album with 30-40 very small tracks...

Just checking in... this should get looked at for 7.3 I think. It should be in both the Controller and the SqueezeCenter UI.

I'm not sure what this is.  Can you describe how it works in a little more detail for the player, controller and web UIs?
Comment 7 Matt Wise 2008-08-21 09:17:24 UTC
This is most important in relation to "Random Album Mode"... I'm not sure what the best UI experience would be on the Controller or SqueezeBox UI --perhaps Brian should comment. With regards to SqueezeCenter, I think we should simply add another button next to the "Rew  - Pause - Fwd" buttons that is simply "Skip Album". It would force the system to add a new album to the end of the playlist and then skip to that album. 

On the controller I could see some kind of a Press-Play-and-Hold ... but that would have to be worked around the existing "generate musicip playlist by pressing and holding play" thing. Perhaps a double-tap of the FWD button? or Double-Tap and Hold?
