[wesssider]

I love the program. It's a must have for me. Thank you Sindre!

» gapless playback
» ability to flag for follow up
» ability to rate
» jukebox support
» 'Now Playing' tab: batch mode support
» 'Now Playing' tab: long press drag and drop
» 'Now Playing' tab: keep current playlist when switching servers
» 'Now Playing' tab: larger album art to fill empty space (like pre v2.6)
» 'Now Playing' tab: add long press option to album art to 'show album' on
» 'Music Library' tab: show current path in header (like currently in subfolder1 > subfolder2)
» 'Search' tab: results interface is inconsistent with 'Music Library' tab (as mentioned by JoeW here: http://www.activeobjects.no/subsonic/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17829#17829)
» 'Home' tab: user stats: last XX songs played by user
» lockscreen: display song/art information (possible?)
» add optional setting: when you select a track from an folder, have it continue to play tracks in that folder automatically (idea from iSub description)
» visual: currently selected menu item (across the bottom) needs to be more noticable with color (instead of darker grey). Or move the whole menu to the hard 'menu' button. (like I seen in Sindre's video of a < v1.5 ?)
» visual: allow trackball to scroll down to the menu across the bottom. It may already but you cant tell which item is highlighted. Or move menu, see above.

» resolved: rework landscape mode (ADDED in v1.6.1)
» resolved: add long-press option 'show album' on playlist tab (ADDED in v1.9)

Nobody?

>> Have Shuffle randomize queued tracks as opposed to randomly selecting tracks from server source.

» have 'Music Library' remember last directory viewed, big one for me, or a way to return to the last music directory (maybe 'go to directory' long-press from playlist?)

if you use the back button, it should go back through the directory tree

like if Im in the player, press back button, it goes back to the folder I queued/played from.

htc evo 4g

It would be awesome if you could use the jukebox feature through the android app; I realize you can do this through the webpage, but the app is nice and clean whereas the webpage can get unwieldy.

Correct, I think it happens when I leave the program and come back. I can't remember the exact scenario right now I'll update when I can reproduce the steps.

Jukebox remote control from the android app would be spectacular I've been trying to find something to do this reliably for a while now on my linux server/htpc and nothing has this option. I know i can do it from the web app, but browsing my library from there is a bit wonky. Controlling it from a native app would be a dream come true.

[cavediver]

Android app - It would be nice to be able to have an alphabet listing so I don't have to scroll through all of my music to get to the albums that start with V. Also, it would be nice to be able to search artists and albums instead of or in addition to just songs.

[donjulien]

+1 on Android App as remote. As a suggestion, on the home screen I would add:

[Select server]
[Select mode] (toggle between streaming and remote) <-------
[Shuffle play]
[Settings]

+1 on allow browsing by Album / Artist / Genre and not only folder structure
+1 on showing A-Z index before the actual index (good for HUGE collections: sometimes, the app claims "network error", then I retry and it gets the whole listing right; I'm guessing timeout). This should be an option and not the default behaviour, as it doesn't make sense on smaller collections.

Also: be able to reorder the playlist.

I've been looking for a solution for home audio which my wife (iPhone) and I (Android) can control with our phones. Yes, there is Squeezebox, DAAP and DLNA/UPnP, but nothing is as mature and well rounded in all platforms (server, iPhone, Android) as Subsonic. Will be donating soon!

I have video streaming working fairly well on the desktop. Any chance of having the Android app passing video to the flash player on my Android EVO 4G?

How about the option to, rather than either or. I really like the shuffle from the server library!

+1 : shuffle queued tracks should have always been there, but also "shuffle library" is cool

Still repeats first track on shuffle play from the home screen.

Shuffle from play list works now. First track repeats from playlist shuffle.
