First, if you don't like having the covers in the album list, you can turn them off in the preferences. I don't think it is a duplication having the covers in the album list and in the sidebar as it serves different purposes. It is much easier for the user to recognize an album by seeing the cover instead of just having a long list of album names. I guess the eyes are more responsive to pictures than text. > PLAYER > - Why does the player area is so big, the previous one was very good I think. > - The traker should not be so big. > - IMO the shuffle and repeat functions don't need to be in the main > UI, as there as not nee > in one sentence, please bring back the previous player widget. The player interface in its current state is absolutely experimental. And I don't think it will go back into mainline like this. Please refer to this thread http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2005-May/msg00151.html It gives the reasons for the changes. > QUEUE > - move the queue as source, to limit the UI bloat, and avoid to much > boxes. This brings in the question of discoverability. How should a user know that songs added to this source take precedence in the play order? And I really like to have the queue always visible to be able to add songs from the library by dnd anywhere into the queue. > Futhermore > > [1] http://bmm80 free fr/Gnome/rhythmbox/rb-dev-1.png The link doesnt' work. > I don't want to offense anyone; please consider these comments, > thank you :) Feedback is always appreciated.
