Selecting a track anywhere adds whole current list to Now Playing [#16029]

Post by weddster »

Hi,

Tapping a track in any view adds all the items of that view to now playing. I would expect only that track to be inserted after the current playing track and to start playing. This is not good when the current view is Tracks (~35K) :)

But this does not occur when the track is selected with long press, and then play now is selected.

Same behaviour occurs when option to preserve now playing is in either state.


on Fiio M11 Pro
MM version 2.0.0.1076
Android 7.0 build 1.0.4

Thanks

That has always been the default behavior of MMW and MMA--tapping a track in a list causes 'Clear list & play selected + subsequent'). This behavior is configurable in MMW, but not in MMA.

But I see your point: it's too easy to interrupt/replace the currently Playing list. We're tracking this at:

OK thanks for the reply.

Personally I don't think many people would like even the behaviour you describe in the ticket to be the default behaviour. Surely tapping a track means you want that that track only to be added, not the entire current list, as is possible in MMW? The current behaviour is terrible if your current view "playlist" is the "all tracks" collection. One can always add an entire playlist/LP/collection from the parent list.

Just wanted to add +1 for this kind of customisable behaviour like what is in MMW.

So much so, if I could add only one feature - this would probably be it!

Thanks for your continued hard work - 2.0 is working a dream, I can't thank you all enough!
