Limited player controls in property sheet

[RogerD_AZ]

Add a "Play Now" button in the properties sheet next to the < > buttons.
Maybe along with it a check box "always play now" when <> tracks.
And even better (getting greedy) two setting boxes "Start Playing @ xx% of song" "Play For xx seconds". Like make preview options. Seems this would be a big help in tagging music.

Sounds good to me. I like that idea.

I too waste a lot of time getting out of Properties, playing the song and coming back to the dialod to tag it.

Nice wish item...

Much better, thank you for the tip. Still wishing for my idea, but this really helped..

And a slow double click in any field in the tracklisting (or now playing) and you can edit it directly.

Thanks, great tip.

But it seems to be updating the timestamp even if the tag was not changed. Is there a way to fix this?

Disabling timestamping altogether is not practical. The files should be saved only if the tag actually changed.
