Plexamp feature request

[smadenli]

I use Plexamp a lot and loving it every minute of it. l have colossal music library of all kinds of different music types and it make a good job of it creating mixes.
Good job so far, hats off to you folks.

I would like the following improvements when you get a chance,

• Showdown button - Currently we need to terminate it on the taskbar
• Volume slider visible on the default startup.
• My music divided into multiple libraries. Once you create collection and playlist stay with that library. it should be global and Plexamp should switch automatically. I have to create a redundant play list for APE, FLAC, FLAC 24 Bit and MP3 libs. Often same album exit in multiple formats.
• Bitrate and Codec and file type should be displayable especially Plexamp on Windows or Mac.
• When ASIO on USB is available the original bitrate should be used and leave to DAC to do the conversion/enhancement.
• Why i can not push to another network player such as California Labs?
• Library in use and the output device in use should be visible and modifiable on the main screen all the time
• Loudness, and clipping control working excellently however there is no volume levelling setting. This is more of problem volume levels of different for different materials (tidal and my library is one)
• Make it easy to create and edit play list using Plexamp. Auto record to playlist when 'library radio is selected. This playlist optionally should be able to saved for future playback or sharing.
• For large libraries, music type selection should be present (ex: I should be able to say play “blues only” or mixture of genres when a library radio or library mode is selected).

I am sure you have a myriad of suggestions on your plate but, here are they, added on the list and hope to see them on V5 or V6,

Sinan.

Volume slider visible on the default startup.

I changed this to default on for desktop, it’s a good suggestion.

@smadenli

Often same album exit in multiple formats

This is not how we recommend organizing music; we recommend only having lossless and letting it convert if needed.

@smadenli

Bitrate and Codec and file type should be displayable especially

It’s displayed in the player and with each album; we think this is enough.

@smadenli

When ASIO on USB is available

We’ll look to support WASAPI in the future, and possibly ASIO.

@smadenli

Why i can not push to another network player such as California Labs?

Because we don’t support DLNA or whatever proprietary system it uses?

@smadenli

Library in use and the output device in use should be visible and modifiable on the main screen all the time

We show the library in use on the home screen; we don’t think the output device is that interesting to show it all the time.

@smadenli

there is no volume levelling setting

Yes, there is, Loudness Leveling; it’s enabled by default.

@smadenli

Make it easy to create and edit play list using Plexamp

You can already create and edit playlists.

@smadenli

This playlist optionally should be able to saved for future playback

You can already save your play queue as a playlist.

@smadenli

For large libraries, music type selection should be present (ex: I should be able to say play “blues only” or mixture of genres when a library radio or library mode is selected)

You can already do this with style/genre radio, and/or your own custom smart playlist.
