it’s relatively minor for me the horizontal or vertical aspect, more of a bug bear is the pagination aspect., I would love to see smooth scrolling of albums. It’s a bit of a pain with a wheel mouse to try and not paginate multiple pages oftentimes, and on a tablet (at least on android tablet) where the finger swiping page by page is very hit and miss, ie it just doesn’t paginate much of the time.
Also, personally, I find pagination harder to assimilate mentally, one has to accustomise to a whole page of new data rather than incrementally.
Sorry for relatively off topic, but it would be nice to have both these addressed at the same time.
Agree, hope you get rid of the grid view in total one day. It’s outdated . I still hope for a album with album context view. Anyways, you most certainly triggered my curiousity here.
How would vertical scrolling interact with smooth scrolling? I turned on smooth scrolling on my mac for my Logitech MX Master (through their software) and that works pretty well in most software (e.g. Firefox, Finder, Mail, …). However, currently in Roon a single ‘smooth’ scroll results in going several pages further (4-5 pages). I realize this is not necessarily Roon’s fault as the mouse driver is probably generating multiple scroll events, but it would be nice nonetheless
My request, vertical scrolling similar to IOS contacts app. Visible A-Z partition bars with a quick jump A-Z index control. But for phone Roon app, ensure the A-Z index jumper control is bigger than Contacts app so you can reliability click the intended letter to jump to (i.e. Contacts A-Z index control is too small).
Also, smaller icons in the vertical based lists. Look to Auralic Lighting DS for great examples of use of smaller icons for artist, album, track lists. Also, their implementation of ‘My music’ has the IOS contacts vertical browsing with A-Z index jumping.
“Vertical scrolling [On Roadmap]”…from May 2015. It’s now halfway through 2018 and a major release is just out (1.5), and STILL no vertical scrolling. Really tired of dealing with the horizontal scrolling nightmare. What’s it going to take ?
I would prefer vertical scrolling (or choice). Second to that would be horizontal scrolling, not paging. It is the paging that is awkward going sideways on the longer dimension. Scrolling would make that easier at least.
But on a PC/MAC its really uncomfortable because you cannot just scroll through your artist with your mouse wheel. Like with normal documents / websites
