one button queuing
goffa:
I'd like to see this feature implemented in rockbox
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/2142
The logic:
First of all, i'd like to start off by saying that i love rockbox. I think its a great player, etc.
Very seldom do i create a specific playlist. A dynamic playlist queues all of my music, and i use shuffle to play music. Don't jump on me, but it is inconvenient to turn shuffle on/off, its hidden pretty deep in the menus.
Also, its inconvenient to hit a button to see your file browser, then choose playlist, then queue, then pick how you want to queue your file. That's 4 extra button presses for me that should be just one.
I haven't tried this patch (i'm about to do it now). Hope it works.
Long story short, i'll donate another (in addition to the previous $50) $50 to the project if this gets implemented.
thanks everyone and keep up the good work.

Shuffle is in the quick menu. One keypress away.

I can count to 2 "extra" presses there. You will always need to go to the browser (1 click) and you will always have to press the magic Queue button (1 click).
You could always try the Party mode.

I don't think i wrote my last post clear enough.
What is happening is when i select a track to be played from the file browser, it overwrites my playlist and queues the current directory.
If i could pick a track out of the file browser, have it play the file, then resume the current playlist I'd be very happy.
I can see how people would like it the way it is, so i propose a toggle.
The way it is now is frustrating now that depressing the middle button plays a track. It is very easy to bump the middle button on my iaudio x5, and bumping it twice is not uncommon. I am then forced to reload my original playlist after the listening current song. I could be wrong, but i seriously doubt i'm the only one who would prefer this behavior. Every other player i've used seems to do this. The main reason i'm using rockbox is for the support for different codecs. So going back to original firmware isn't an option.
I do like the plugin system as well.
Oh, and the $50 offer still stands. I'm happy to support the development of this project.

As far as the accidental bumping of navi goes, have you tried party mode?

just so we're clear, you mean besides the current queue/insert functions?
