When confronted by the new interface, I see: Random Rock and Pop Album play Rating Granted, Random does play random, once I figured out how to get the playlist created. That was fun. I could never figure out how to get Rock and Pop to populate the playlist. Album play gave similar results to Random - random tracks. No albums. I played with Rating a bit, using mostly the >4 rating. A very few tracks were 4 or more stars; the rest unrated. > - Or some of the other smaller improvements or bug fixes? > > Anyway, as long as no-one could lay a finger on a concrete usability > issue I will just continue bathing in the soft and sensual pink light of > a job well done. > > Cheers, > Ralf You might ask a friend or aquaintance who's never used it before, to populate a playlist, and watch them do so. I've been using Amarok for a long time, and usually adapt pretty easily, with APG being the exception. I still can't really use that, unfortunately. I think the old Dynamic Playlist needed fixing, for sure. And while I'm sure that there IS a way to use your new UI and get expected results -- I haven't been able to discover how.
