Being a tad picky, one thing that I've noticed with the library is with
how the data in the columns appears. In some columns (track, time, year, bit size, average bitrate, etc) have the data anchored to the right side of the column, yet other columns (track artist, MusicID status, bit rate type, etc) have the data anchored to the left side of the column. Would it be best to pick one, right or left and stick with it? It would make for cleaner appearing columns.

Also, as mentioned before by others I believe, the scroll buttom in the play list window are more like "zip" buttons. No scroll, just "zip" to the bottom or top with little user control (moves too fast). Strange behavior. A bit more Windows like would be best.

Oh, and I wanted to add that since QMP came out I forget when to go to bed..........let's call this a "feature"....

Thanks,

You have a point, I guess. But actually, most apps DON'T align everything to one side or the other. Windows Explorer, for example. In Details view, all of the file sizes are right-aligned. That way, all the 'KB' parts line up together, keeping it a bit cleaner, and making it easier to see at a glance the relative sizes of files.

When used properly, it's a Good Thing(tm).
