Re: Hoster Newbie has questions

Quote:
1. However during a show I typically would use the default songlist since I am adding various songs to it as the night goes on. It would seem ideal if while a song was playing I could open another songlist and import a track into the default list. Right now I don't see any way of doing that. I believe the choices are to wait until the song ends and open the other songlist, play the song and then come back to the default songlist. Maybe there's a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do. Any ideas?
Each song you add to the list goes to the bottom of the list. It is easier to delete these after being played, or later on, if you decide to. You can always change the position of a song that you want to remain on the list to be above the temp ones.

2. This may be more of a wish than anything else. Once you create a songlist the only information you have about the song is the title. You don't know which brand of CD it is etc. It would be nice if you could "right" mouse click on a song entry and get the "Properties" of that song that are available in the Search window. Again there may be some other way to do this,
Maybe the Adminstration can take this as a request for the next version of Hoster, if it can be done.

3. If you create custom songlists and select to have the songs removed after being played you essentially destroy your custom songlist unless you manually add the song back again before closing the list. If there was some way to differentiate between the default songlist and custom songlists with the songs being "persistent" in the custom songlists unless you delete them that would work well. Otherwise you always have the risk of deleting songs from the custom songlists you have created.
All song lists are custom, since you create them. If you want to keep them. then name them say, "Custom 1" or "Default1" etc. so you won't forget. You don't have to keep the default name that Hoster gives the list. You can give it any name.
