Hi,
yesterday I upgraded to the 8.3.9 version of moode from 6.something, and while the previous installation was already excellent, I must say that the latest one really approaches perfection! It's so polished, with much of the glitches that used to annoy me gone, as far as I can tell.
I have a low priority proposal that would make moode even better. It's something I'd call the "track preview" mode. I like to explore new music, and my policy is to download or copy new albums to a temporary place of my NAS. I'd like to be able to just browse to that location and play a track, without having to do a library update and "contaminating" the sorted library with the entry that I potentionally would not like and end up erasing in the end.
The alternative suggestion is to allow a "track preview" on an entry already in library, which would work like browsing to the library track and play it "in place", without adding it to the current playlist (I like to keep my playlist "clean" and tidy
. So the "preview" control could for example be implemented in a popup window with only basic track info, track position slider and possibly temporary volume control, without adding the previewed track to the playlist history, or affecting the global volume control.
I'm aware it's potentially much work, maybe even breaking the current UI logic, but this subforum is called "feature requests", so ...
