I may have missed something obvious, but in Moode 6.x how can you view radio stations in a text list instead of the tile view. I can find things like station names much faster in text. I know, my brain is wired wrong. <g>

(07-28-2020, 08:19 PM)The problem for me is the tiles. It\s a brain wiring thing. The presence of the tiles obscures the name to the point of making it hard to see the station. It's like the Comcast menu. My wife is visually oriented. Tiles work great for her. For me they're an impediment just like a text list is for her. The thumb index on the side of the screen is too small on any display smaller than a desktop monitor to be of any use. On my phone and 10" tablet it's almost impossible to tap on just one letter, even when using a pinpoint stylus and setting up the screen with the largest font .

Consider a moment, below each tile is the text station name.
At the far right of the screen is an a-z vertical search bar.
If you are looking for a station name (Just as you would in a list view) select the letter and the tiles scroll to that letter -plus and minus overlap depending on how many stations are present- then check the text for your station.

(07-29-2020, 05:54 PM)The only drawback is creating and maintaining the playlist. The text only option, I assume involves some extra coding but might be as simple as a flag for presence of tile. If tile_present is false it would default to list view. Admittedly I\m completely ignorant of how the information is actually put to the screen.

Yes, one first has to create the custom playlists, but I'm failing to see a difference in user experience.
