1252 'Copy to...'/'Burn...' fail to respect selection [5771]

Post by chrisjj »

Now Playing Copy to portable device and Burn to CD/DVD don't to respect the selection of tracks i.e. operate on all tracks regardless. I'm guessing this not intended.

Thanks. The intent was the entire playlist, but I can see how this could be confusing. My personal opinion is that the behavior is valid, but that the wording is unclear.

Either way WYSIWYG is acheived would fix the problem.

> Copy > Burn Playlist to CD / DVD

It has been years since MM changed from called Now Playing a playlist! I think new user will go "Uh? Playlist? What Playlist??"

How about:

Copy > Copy Now Playing to Portable Device
Copy > Burn Now Playing to CD / DVD

(relying on the fact that Now Playing is understood to mean the contents of "Now playing" rather than what is actually "now playing" i.e in the player.)
