Re: GNOME Music needs you!



Hey,

* There's no way to shuffle through my entire library. This is almost
always how   I use Rhythmbox, so I won't switch to GNOME Music until that's possible.
  I wrote a quick patch to add an All Music playlist, but I can't test it
  because of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759751


IIRC the intended way is to switch to Songs view, start playing any song and change 
play mode to Shuffle.

I've been playing around with GNOME Music recently. This app is
*really* nice --
and I'm nearly ready to switch to it from Rhythmbox.

I see just a few problems:

* There's often a small delay when opening it before music appears. Not
a big
  deal, but the entire UI is blank during this time, which is a big
deal. It
  needs to show a spinner until it's ready.
* There's a horrible hang the first time I run the app, I guess while
it's
  indexing. That needs to not hang the UI thread. I know Python has a
GIL, but
  a GIL doesn't mean you're stuck with unresponsive UI.
* There's no way to shuffle through my entire library. This is almost

  I use Rhythmbox, so I won't switch to GNOME Music until that's

  I wrote a quick patch to add an All Music playlist, but I can't test

Anyone want to help fix these?
