Hi,
This isn't really a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to search through the help screen with the "/" key.Could make navigating the help screen a little easier, and ncmpc can do this.
Thanks for the program, btw, it's a really impressive improvement over ncmpc.
EDIT: Also one more change that would nice: the ability to not update the database automatically after changing a tag(s).Database update + rescanning for albums (album view) is too slow for my liking as I have a pretty large collection.
EDIT2: Actually it seems to be the album view rescan that slows everything down. |

Another feature request.The latest version of ncmpc has support for enabling/disabling audio outputs.It would be cool to have this in ncmpcpp as well.
Thanks |

Where exactly? In media library? Btw, ncmpcpp is looking for the smallest part of db to update by searching for shared directory (e.g. if you update songs in /a/b/c and /a/b/d, it'll update only /a/b).

Oh by the way, when I quit media library to go to playlist (for example) and go back again to media library, the selected column is the "artist" one. What would you think about keep selected column before leaving media library ? |
I just implemented keeping selected column in all screens that have columns. Regarding saving position, maybe in the future ;) I don't think it's so important.

In the Tag editor.The problem is not the DB update but the rescanning for albums in album view.Directory view is near instant, but my directory structure is like this: "Artist/Album(s)" so directory view doesn't pick them up.Maybe there could be a directory mode that allows you to look in subdirectories? |

Ah, this. Ok, I'll allow manual db updating there.

Well, that's another not bad idea.

Sounds interesting - would it be possible to even support *two* soundcards with a sort of pre-listening window that would enable you to do the very same on the second soundcard before adding a song to the playlist?
This would make me more than happy

Hi,
I've got a feature request. Do you think you could create an option to automatically fetch and switch to the lyrics for a new song when it starts playing?
Thanks!

And YAFR (Yet Another Feature Request): could you display not only the total playtime but also the time remaining in the playlist-window?
TIA

Yes, with the time into the song on one side of the ``time bar'', and the time remaining on the other.

I don't think mpd can support 2 soundcards in parallel, which is vital here.

That's already done and can be enabled/disabled by pressing space in lyrics screen.

Hmm, could you explain a little bit more? I can't imagine it ;)

Just like in Amarok 1.4: http://amarok.kde.org/files/amarok14/shot7.png
Look at the bottom right.

Well - this is only srunnis part of the request
I was asking for something more general (even though I like srunnis request as well ): on the very top of the playlist window you have something like | Code: | | Playlist (24 items, length: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 13 seconds) |
I'd like that to be enhanced to something like | Code: | | Playlist (24 items, length: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 13 seconds ::: Remaining: 54 minutes, 44 seconds) |
Even better: you could give every song a timestamp on which time of the day it'll end as in | Code: | [ 13:05:11] Cassandra Wilson - Hellhound On My Trail
[ 13:09:45] Cassandra Wilson - Black Crow |
Does this make things more clear?

PS: I have to add that I'm working as a DJ as well and time management is quite important for me (besides the ability to pre-listen ) ... |

Done. It's disabled by default though.
Regarding timestamp, the problem is it would need to be updated each minute (that's not so bad yet) or second (this is unacceptable )

Hey, I've got two more feature requests:
- Queuing within the playlist (so that you can go out of the playlist order)
- Stopping after the current song

I guess that's right time to add this to faq ;) see http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/faq.php

Why would you do that?

I use it if I want to go do something AFK, but I first want to finish listening to the current song. I frequently use this feature in Amarok.
Also, another feature: multiple playlists, which I can switch between. This is something I've wanted for years in Amarok, but they are adamantly opposed to implementing this feature for some reason. It is one of the few things I miss about Windows—foobar2000 has support for tabbed playlists (they obviously wouldn't be tabbed in a CLI app, but you get the idea).

Can you propose keybinding for enabling/disabling it? I'm out of ideas, lol.

I think achieving that without much effort is possible for now. You can save playlists and browse them in playlist editor tab. If you want to switch, just press enter on wanted playlist (could be followed by 'c' to clear the current one).
Btw, I'd like you to fill feature request bugs at mpd mantis in the future rather than posting it here. The reason is obvious, having them all in one place really helps and minimize the risk I'll forget about them.

How about ``y''?

I don't think you understand what I mean. I want to be able to pause a playlist (even in the middle of a song), and then go to another playlist, listen to songs from that, and then be able to go back to the first playlist and continue from exactly where I was.

Ah, something like this. In this case I think this feature request should go to mpd dev at first, not me. It's almost the same problem like with queueing, handling multiple playlist the way you described should be done by mpd itself as it cannot be implemented only in client without hacks.

Would be great if "queue this track" feature appears in ncmpcpp. 
And individual screen with "queue manager" for this feature.
Thanks for player! |

It's already been said that such a feature should be impemented in mpd first, so the client can make use of it.
