Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] More suggestions

["Joel Dimbernat" <joel dimbernat gmail com>]

1. The equalizer is a common request. It "only" waits for someone to do it, I guess.

 

2. I love this idea.

 

3. I don't have a DAP but I think it works somehow this way (and if it doesn't, I think it should work this way):

You copy an mp3 file to an Ipod ->

Rhythmbox checks from hal that the Ipod support mp3 ->

Mp3 is supported ->

The file is copied to the ipod.

 

You copy an ogg file to an Ipod ->

Rhythmbox checks from hal that the Ipod support ogg ->

Ogg is not supported ->

The ogg file is converted to an mp3 in /tmp ->

The mp3 file is copied to the ipod.
 

4. Cool mockups, but the length of the slider has been discussed a lot, and it came up that for long audio files (like 1h podcasts) a longer slider allows to move more precisely in the file.

ie: if you have a short slider with 100 positions: on a one hour "song" you can only move 36 seconds (3600/100) forward and backward.
if you have a long slider with 1000 positions: on a one hour "song" you can only move 3,6 seconds (3600/1000) forward and backward.
It has been decided to go for the long slider, and I agree with the choice.

Ciao to all.

I was thinking if rhythmbox might have some features that other music players have:

1. An equalizer.
   - An equalizer to control the sound of all the songs, with presets: bass, pop, country, etc...
   - An individual equalizer for each song. I have songs that its volume level is very low and
     songs that its volume level is high. This equalizer could serve to control this. Or an option
     that normalizes the volume level of all the songs.
   - A graphical equalizer. Those bars going up and dow with the music rhythm.

2. Playbak mode for each playlist.
   If dont have defined a playback for a playlist it must use the general playback mode,
   but if i choose "no-random" mode in my "spanish music" playlist -for example-,
   Rhythmbox should play the songs in the order they are in.

3. The Ipod doesn't support OGG files and my music library is in ogg format, so i need to
    open "sound converter" to conver my ogg files to mp3 files. Maybe Rhythmbox could
    simplify this by adding an option in the context menu of each song:
    "Convert to" -> "Mp3, Ogg, Acc, Flc, Wav, whatever gstreamer understand" and control
    the converted file destination in the preferences:
    "Delete the source file, Put it in the source file's destination, Put it in Destkop, etc, etc."
    and make sure that idtag is written too in the new file.

4. In my opinion, the space that is used by the playback slider is too big. I made 2
    pics in inkscape -like a mockup- to show some changes...


This ideas are just suggestions that i think could improve usability and make rhythmbox more
flexible. I will hope your comments.

Regards to all rhythmbox devs, Alex.

PD. Excuse my poor and bad english, im an spanish speaker, hahaha
