Features under construction

Most of the time until now has been consumed to the all-new pane controller - the module that controls how the various panes (Music browser, Track List, Play List, Info Pane, Video Window, Visualizations etc) are arranged in the main Jaangle window.
You are now able to add multiple instances of the same control.



The rest of the changes (raw format) that are scheduled for the next version are:
GUI
- Correct the track list - wheel issue
- Music brainz integration using the external application (see MusicBee)
- Tray Icon tooltip.
- Info Pane: make it see multiple info
- Info Pane: If it shows a track -> make a button to play/enqueue the album / artist
- Info Pane: Add "Year" in the photo caption.
- Info Panes: break to Info / Vis / Video / Browser panes
- PlayerBar: Ratings button
- PlayerBar. Show number of tracks/current track/total playlist time in a status bar
- Miniplayer: Ratings button
- MiniPlayer. Add a "jump to" bar / Numbers in front of the tracks
- Mouse down & move left - right forward track position forward backwar at 1 sec/pixel
- Tree Pane: Draw the Tree Images in a timer event
- Tree Pane: More buttons for style/mode toggling
- Tree Pane. Add option for doubleclicking Nothing/Play/Enqueue/Enqueue after
- Track Properties. Add Picture Property page
- Track List Pane. Add option for doubleclicking Nothing/Play/Enqueue/Enqueue after
- Game: Full Screen

Operations:
- Add an option to copy all files on the playlist to a certain directory
- Add a localized google search (use IDS_LYRICS for search)
- PlayList: What I would like to do is to randomize the list from the next song to be played on.
- PlayList: Read tags in a different thread and notify
- Bass Video Integration (http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=7943.0)
- Bass SFX Integration (http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=9488.0)
- BASS_VFX Integration http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=8827.0
- Player: pause, stop or seek, you will hear the smooth transitions.
- Player: Rethink of volume as a "Config" value. Rethink the whole Config Thing
- Player: FLV files
- Player: Add an option to use DirectShow Engine only
- Selectable LastFM support (Using the original client)

Bugs:
- The problem is every chinese artist are recognized by the player as the same so if I were to tick the "display artist picture" in special info under options and play the songs of lets say artist 周杰伦 it will start a slideshow of every single chinese artist
- Problem when maximizing and the task bar is hidden

  1. I would like to know if you are thinking about adding soport for the ID3v2, the biggest problema it´s about the Album Artist, because sometimes when a you have a song that has a featuring, it understands as another artist

  2. Ha, Mr周杰伦 (in any case if you need to know, his name is "Jay Chou" in English) should donate Jaangle for spreading his name all over the world.

  5. Jaangle is very good - I would like to be able to view/list (in alfa order) by song name followed by artist name. So if you don't know the artist but know the songs name you can find the tune.

  6. I would like to see (i think these are priorities):

    Prompt to set jaangle as your default media player at install like all other big media players.

    Automatic addition of CD drives to collections (or a prompt with manual) at install.

    The ablity to read and play .cda files right off the CD.

    The ability to click an import button in jaangle and be prompted with a menu that offered "select collection" and "create collection". and have it import all music from a CD into that collection updating jaangle as it went.

    Linux support. Web Radio support. maybe a web radio browser. Podcast subscribing.

    If all of what you listed on here will be included to the future version of Jaangle, It will surely kill the one of the best part of this media player, "resource friendliness".
    Try "song bird". It has all the abilities you mentioned here, and you'll see what that player is missing instead of having those abilities.
