You might want to look at MediaMonkey from the Windows app store, it is designed for touch screens.

Thanks folks. I am indeed referring to a touch screen rather than touch pad, and note that MM isn't really set up for touch screens. Which is a shame, but maybe a matter of time.

Thank you for your replies. Cheers.

@Peke, you seem to be referring to a touch pad, not touch screen.

based on your description looks like precision touch pad for Legacy application and two finger behavior do not either work or not set correctly.

I have tested on one ASUS transformer with Windows 8.1 and it worked as designed and presented on for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0QOIWoTJYw&hd=1

As note it also work similar in Windows 7 after enabling and tweaking gestures on my friends Dell Laptop I currently hold in my hands much like described in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9cFjWABi1c&hd=1

MMW isn't really designed for touchscreens. However MediaMonkey for Metro (MM8) from the Windows App store is (but it isn't full featured like MMW).

Perhaps I'm missing something (and if I am, I'd welcome anyone pointing it out), but is it possible to enable scrolling through tracks (Library and Now Playing) with a touch screen. Touching the tracks only selects them, and using the scrollbar with a touch screen can be difficult (using Surface Pro so small screen = small scroll bar).
