I've got a few comments/requests as a user :)
1. Is there some way to have the 'cursor' move with the current playing track ? (ie when it changes song, look if the cursor was highlighting the previous song and move it to the next song) This way the info-window displays the current song at all times, if once selected.
No, this does not currently work and actually I don't like this idea too much. Suppose you were editing the playlist and then a new song comes and all of a sudden the cursor moves.
2. Can I support multiple music directories and/or temporary music directories (like USB storage or CD/DVDs) ? What I would like is to be able to specify multiple locations and have pytone manage each of these. And when a location suddenly gets unmounted/remounted, have it act upon that.
PyTone supports more than one music directory (just add multiple [database.*] sections in the config file). But this support is currently static in the sense that you cannot add/remove databases when PyTone is running. However, you can at any time request a rescanning of the database by selecting the database and pressing 'u'.
3. I noticed that when starting pytone it starts to eagerly rescan all the files in such a way that my system cannot keep up with it and it influences the interactivity with the ncurses interface (seems not to respond) and playback is being interrupted several times because of this. (I already increased the buffer because of this and that helped, still...)
I would say "eagerly" is not the right word. I tried to make it no eager at all, but I have to say that tuning this thing is not really easy and I'm also not too happy with the current situation.
4. ctrl-enter does not seem to work as advertized, it behaves exactly like Enter. I have to first add a song and then press 'n' if I want to play a song of my own choice immediately.
You're meaning alt-enter, I suppose. You're right, there seems to be a small bug. I'll fix that in the next version. Thanks for the feedback, Jörg
