My Wishlist

Post by Njugi »

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I have been using MediaMonkey since the 2.5 version.
I would be glad to see some of the following wishes as features in the MediaMonkey 4 (I know some of them were already wished, but to be honest, I'm lazy to look after)
  • - Clover Flow (I know that it is on the Official wishlist, but I'm an other one who supports this feature) - It would be really nice, and useful to browse albums, or even artists with photos on it
    - Band photos / Artist Page: - for example - Windows Media Player, has got an option to display Artists too, and they are displayed by showing different albums by them on eachother ( http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-content ... -wmp11.jpg ) - Could you create a page like this in MediaMonkey, where all your artist are in alphabetical order, but with their band-photos/logos/or with our own pictures that we can choose (like at last.fm), and not only their albums? It would be really nice
    - User-friendlier design: To be honest, the design what MediaMonkey 3 uses - is a little-bit outdated - like Windows 95. I know it is skinnable, but could you create a design which is more 2010-2011-like?
    - Bigger Win7/Vista-like icons: It would be so much better to use 32x32 or 24x24 icons insted of 16x16 - They would be nicer and easier to identify.
And please, could you tell me, when is a (pre) alpha or beta coming to MediaMonkey 4? I'm really excited about it.
Thanks for reading, and sorry for my English mistakes - It is not my native language.

Already implemented in MM4.
It looks similar to cover flow.

I always liked this "stack" feature in wmp.
I support your wish.

I think the problem is that there is no standard on how to accomplish this.
These images would only work in MM. Not with other programs, players, devices, ...

I totally agree with you. It's my biggest gripe with Mediamonkey.
There will be some improvements in MM4 tho.

I agree. But the problem is that using bigger icons will use more space. Not very handy for organization ( more scrolling, ...)
What I would like is that the icon files contains 3 versions of the icons ( 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 ) And an option in the Mediamonkey UI to switch between them.
That would also please a lot of users who want to display Mediamonkey on large monitors.
( I red several topics asking for this feature )

The developers have indicated that an alpha could arrive in a month.

I'm going to update my wishlist, with another useful suggestion. Since I got my iPod, I'm getting used to using Auto-Playlists. This feature is really nice, but my wish is to be able to create multipe auto-playlist with the same criterias. For exaplme: I have 91 Album Artists, and I want to create a auto-playlists, with the 4,5 and 5 star song of bands, but in different playlists for every band. Now, I have to create 91 playlists manually with the autoplaylist-creator, but It would be really useful to be able to create multipe auto-playlist at one time, so, when you select 4,5-5 stars, there would be an option, like create autoplaylists for every band/every genre/every year. If this option is already avaiable, soryy, just I could not find it.
Again, English is not my main language, but I hope you undestood, what I wanted to say.

In the Device Profile you can select that MediaMonkey creates a playlist for each Artist and/or Album. So I think you can sync the AutoPlaylist based on Rating and have MediaMonkey create the playlists for Artists on the iPod.
