Ho, ho, ho!
Hi there.
1st of all, a BIG thank You for this great piece of work!
So, I've been using moOde for a couple of weeks now and collected some ideas for improvement.
I'm using it on desktop - so these ideas are mainly interesting for desktop users...
1. more detailed song info (like comment, album artist, performer etc)
-- showing it maybe like the audio info overlay, but only with infos regarding the file playing
2. switching the albumcover between all covers that are stored in the file
-- maybe with an additional option to select a specific one
3. lyrics - ok, I've been looking into this a bit and realize, that it is not quite easy to obtain them easy and for free with good results - even more, when having songs that are not so common. But I gained a somehow good result with genius lyrics and managed to catch them with a python lib - so it is doable with some effort
-- so a lyrics button would be really nice - maybe showing them in an overlay... and an option to enter a personal api key for the lyrics provider
4. better linking to the usb/nas drive
it's generally my wish to see a more fluent usability when browsing the library.
a tree-view of the folders would be nice eg.
-- my main point here is, that when I browse to a folder and add it to the playlist and then move back to the player view I can switch back to the folder by clicking on the album cover - BUT this is not granted! often I land on the top level of the folder view... why?? The file that's beeing played has the information of its directory - so it shouldn't be a problem to jump there.
-- a link to the folder in the contextmenu of the files in the playlist would be also great!
5. Cover view button
-- maybe I don't see it because I have the automatic option enabled?
But, nevertheles - it would be really helpful to have a link to the player view and the cover view in the menues - so that one can easily go there when you are in the setup pages or elsewhere with no instant option to go 'home'
So far - thank You and a have nice christmas time!
Cheers, Stephan
