Yes. But the A-Z bottom row might get crowded. Name a resolution, I'll have a look what it does and see if there are any obvious easy improvements.

As an aside: I'm toying with the idea of making my next skin a (mainly) vertical one like many commercial English pub boxes I've seen.

Hey SilverEagle, I pm'd you. Also, I just noticed that even though my songs are all very well organized on my itunes and mediamonkey, on Silverjuke I have a lot of albums that are "various" and contain random collections of songs that seem to have tags that are correct. How are songs organized on Silverjuke? Is there a database that it creates that puts the songs together that I can edit? How does it come up with "various" so often? Thanks, I have a party coming up in a few weeks - just trying to get it all right. Thanks.

The best explanation is in the .

Also note that if songs are ripped by different people, very often artists or albums are spelled slightly differently. If so I am not sure if Silverjuke would recognize these as being the same.

By the way: if you want more info, questions will probably be better answered in the support section of the forum - this is all basic Silverjuke behaviour and not specific to this skin

Excellent :) that was the fastest release i have ever seen...

Few "bug's" that i found. With the new "Various" album tough.

1. I noticed that when i have 6 songs in one directory and SJ show's 4 songs the up and down buttons are not working. This is WITH various list. When it shows Artist name and Title name. In the same box. In full screen and non full screen. Regardless of resolution.

2. In the list, when it shows 2 rows of info. You can only start playing the song with pushing the first row of txt.

Hope i have been clear enoughfgfhg, sorry for bad English.

Hello All,

Just released beta13.

This one is even faster

I fixed the reported compilation related bugs (albums with multiple pages of tracks not working correctly and clickable area not covering all the track information).

And finally added .... <insert drum roll> .... a volume slider!

It's very unobtrusive as I still think it is not really in it's element on this skin. And maybe not in the most conveniant location, but all the better ones were taken. But to compensate it is available on all screens .

As usual you can find the files in the top post.

Enjoy,
SilverEagle

That is your own fault for being Finish. Normal people don't put dots on top of an A...

But seriously: looks like Windows reports the wrong screenlength for a string containing that diabolical A-with-dots-on-top character. I'll look into it.

Fixed I think. Please try this new version of the DLL. The skin will warn it is an unexpected version, ignore that. Could you post the results back here?

Thanks SilverEagle. The volume slider rules!

I did some more reserch on the "various" compilations I get through silverjuke but not through itunes or media monkey. There are 22 of them created by silverjuke and in each song in the album, they don't have "various" anywhere in the tag, nor are they located in the same file folder in the directory. I think what happens is that if there is a single song in an album that Silverjuke groups them with other single songs into a "Various" collection based on the "genre" in the tag. I would guess that according to your last post that this is the functionality of silverjuke itself? Sorry to bog you down with questions about silverjuke, I just truly don't know where the functionality of the skin begins. If you tell me that all sorting and tagging features are just the default functioning of Silverjuke, I won't ask another question about sorting or tags here again! Thanks again for the volume slider and fixing the number of tracks that were getting skipped!
