Not sure if this is the exact spot for this so Earl please move if necessary.
Also I have seen many of the other threads involving Twonky and ViiV etc. Not having or needing ViiV or Vista or Twonky perhaps they react differently but it seems that so far Music and Pictures isn't an overall huge issue. That meaning those who have hooked up like it but a good percentage are not interested in it so other issues still prevail.
Secondly the main concern has been getting people to be hooked up by one process or another. So because of that I haven't seen much feedback on the actual use of this feature.
I have a straight network connection with WMP11.
My general feedback is that I love the feature and gives me easy access to the home theater nand has inspired me to truly catalog all of our CDs to the computer.
The pictures work fine but since most are coded with numbers there is no at a glance viewing but outside of the TV being a much better and bigger monitor I mostly would use a shuffle feature for family get togethers and the like.
I have found that playing music while watching photos is no problem but if watching TV I do get an occassional time out anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes into the music. Would like this to be fixed.
I had and have set up a number of playlists for various things including music for my 3 year old. The playlists seem to play longer periods than say plaing from an artist / album.
I have come to use more and more playlists just to access the music I most often listen to.
So my issues with the music is mostly file organization/access and playback order.
My experience is that I am unfortunate to be a huge U2 fan. We listen to plenty of others as well so to get to U2 I need to access artist and then page down for about 5 minutes before I get to U.
Is there a way to get there faster? ( I have made a playlist and sort via playlist but that is only selected songs as if I put all the songs on the list I would then have to go through that list to the album I want to listen to)
Perhaps collapse each letter so only 5 pages to get to U's and then expand that letter?
So Ok lets say I access U2 I then get folders for each album. Then say I select Joshua Tree. I then open that folder and get "Shuffle" and then each song in alphabetical order. How do I play the album in track order?
When I play a playlist it plays in order, but I don't want to create a playlist for each album.
Are other peole getting the same kind of interface depending on your PC software?
If so other thoughts on more quickly access the files?
