Yeah, yeah, I know I'm not the first one who says that, don't beat me :).
(RTFM+read FAQs :)) Anyway.
First of all I really wish to thank the developers for the player which is the only alternative (as I think) to Winamp. But some things really prevent me from totally quitting using Winamp.
I'll start with a playlist. It's nice and looks pretty, but is way too slow. I click on add>load playlist, QCD waits 10 seconds for something and only then starts to load my playlist. So it takes it 12 seconds to complete this task. Of course my palylist is rather big (about 2000 tracks) and my computer was blazing fast back in 1999 (AMD K6-2 500 MHz), but Winamp somehow manages to do it instantly.
The second issue is, I guess, the most "popular" topic on this forum. It's the resizeable playlist. I know it's a skinners problem, but tell me about any skin with this thing really implemented. I mean the playlist which is truly resizeable like Winamp's one, not with some predefined sizes. And what prevents you from putting this nice feature in the default skin?
These are the main issues. I'd also like to say that QCD works much slower than Winamp, and when it switches to the next song the playlist scrolls really slow. But that's not critical :). And by the way, why does QCD always create "My Music" folder in my documents, even if I change this path wherever it is possible in options?
This is really a very good player with great skinning capabilities and you did the right thing making it understand Winamp's plugins. But the above little bugs (features?) make Winamp look more attractive to me as I can stretch it's playlist all across my screen (and 1152x864 makes it rather big) and it is faster (though not so beautiful).
Fix these things and I will never use Winamp again.
