When removing the currently playing song, it resets to the first track in the queue. This can be annoying especially if you don't remember the queue index of the removed song.

Describe the solution you'd like
When removing the currently playing song, it should reset to the previous song so you don't lose your current place.

For larger libraries, loading albums or artists may take an extended amount of time (e.g. 50k+ albums may take upwards of 1-2 minutes to load).

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option to allow swapping the view on the album page between all and paginated, with a selection of how many albums to display per page (25, 50, 100, etc).

Currently, the list stays static when the user is performing any drag operation, so using the mouse wheel is a requirement if you want to select anything outside of the current view.

Select dragging and drag-and-drop should have scroll zones on the top and bottom of the list so that the user does not need to use the scroll wheel to either scroll up or down.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the column selector requires you to clear out or remove columns if you want them in a selected order. You are also unable to individually select resizable columns.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new drag-n-drop component to add, select, and re-order desired columns.

Add a folder browser that's compatible with Subsonic's getIndexes, getMusicFolders, and getMusicDirectory. This would allow users to browse through their music directories and play songs by directory.

Describe the bug
Multiple scrobble requests will be sent for the same song if the song is paused and resumed in its to-scrobble condition (e.g. past 4 minutes, or 90%).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Pause a song past 4 minutes
2. Resume the song

Expected behavior
The song should not be scrobbled again.

This request is mainly for windows but could also apply to some linux distros. I'm used to spotify, being able to click exit but not really exit and continue playback with the window minimized to the tray.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Toggle options that allow you to "close to tray on exit" or "close to tray on minimize"
• Tray menu can be right clicked to open a menu on the tray icon
• Tray menu can be single or double clicked to restore full window

Subsonic-API supports multiple filters for albums which includes:

• Genre
• From and To year

Describe the solution you'd like
Additional filters separate which can be used in conjunction with the existing:

• A-Z
• Most Played
• Newly Added
• Random
• Recently played

UI should most likely act similarly to the Add random on the Now Playing page.

Edit: Only additional functionality that can be added is a byYear filter.

It is currently impossible to navigate forward or back a page without using a hotkeys such as page forward/back buttons on your mouse. Add persistent buttons to allow the user to page forward or back on the main layout.

It would be nice if hovering over the sonixd taskbar icon showed playback controls (e.g. play/pause/next/previous)

See the below screenshot of foobar2000 for an example:

It would be great if when you resized (or maximized) the sonixd window, if it would remember that windows size (or maximize state if you had maximized it) the next time that you close/re-launch the program.

currently, the program seems to always open with the same small window size (using Windows 10/11)

btw, thx for this great application!

Sonixd 0.4.1 appimage, ubuntu Bionic

Adding songs to a playlist:

I have a genre of songs called "Blues". In the genre view in sonixd, I see "Blues" in the list of genres, it shows about 360 tracks. I expand the "Blues" genre category, and then select all entries, then right click and choose "Add to playlist", and I select the existing (empty) playlist of "Blues". Sonixd then responds with a message that it added 876 tracks. When I look in the "Blues" playlist, I see all those songs in the blues genre; and, I see what looks to be a random selection of roughly 500 additional tracks.

Removing songs from a playlist:

Continuing the above scenario: I sort the playlist by genre. Then, I select all tracks that are NOT of the blues genre. Then I right click and choose "Remove selected". But, sadly nothing happens, they remain.

Why did my attempted method of adding songs to a playlist not work?

The problem is that I would like to use the media keys (i.e., play/pause, next/prev) on my laptop (mac) to control sonixd.

Additional context

The drag and drop function works fairly well for small operations (less than 500 rows), but tends to lock up on larger operations (500-2000+). The function either needs to be heavily optimized or possibly be changed to be asynchronous while setting a loading state on the table to lock any changes while processing.

Currently, the only indicator for a favorited artist or album is shown on the hover state of a card. It should be changed so that if an item is starred/favorited, a prominent indicator is displayed by default.

Also add a hover tooltip for links on cards.

I'm loving using this, the interface feels so snappy.

Just a minor feature request, if you ever feel bored. Not super important.

The shuffle functionality currently physically moves all playing songs into a shuffled state, which causes all albums to go out of order when viewing. Having the queue in its default order makes for a more orderly viewing experience especially when browsing for songs you want to play.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a configurable option to keep all songs in place, but just shuffle in a way that the player jumps to a random index instead of physically shuffling the songs (similar to foobar2000).

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/a

Additional context
This shuffle method would likely not work with Add to queue (next) and Add to queue (later) because of the new randomness of the shuffle queue.

version 0.4.1 of the appimage on Ubuntu Bionic.

My music library consists of over 12,000 songs, in several hundred nested directories.

In Sonixd, how do I show a list of all the songs in the library? I can't figure out how to do that.

I did create a playlist in which I added all songs - well, not really all, more on that in the postscript below - but a playlist is static. Every time I add a new song to the library, I assume I would also have to add it to this playlist in Sonixd as well. Correct?

What I'm looking for is a list of songs in Sonixd that shows all songs in the music library at that moment. How do I do that in Sonixd?

Thanks.

(P.S.: As I wrote, I have over 12,000 songs. The way I added them to the playlist is I selected all folders, and then added them to the playlist. It took about two minutes for Sonixd to do that, but - it only added about 11,300 songs. Is there some upper limit to the number of songs Sonixd can add to a playlist?)

Add support for offline playback.

This will include support for marking playlists as "available offline", which will automatically sync the playlist and all songs to the disk.

Hey,
first of all great job this project looks great!
I've just noticed a view UI/UX things which I think could make it even better :)

1. When you hover over an album preview, there are two "plus" symbols, I assume one for adding the album to the queue and one to a playlist. This is to me pretty ambigious and I think having more distinct symbols, a tooltip showing up or so would be beneficial.
   

2. The opening animation of the mini-view of the current queue is really long.

3. In the album view, when you hover over a song, the UI doesn't reflect clearly that you can click to play the song. Maybe changing highlighting the row (thats what spotify is doing) could be nice? Edit: I just saw that when you click on a song, you're selecting it and it reflects in a colour change. Spotify is using for hover and select two different highlight colours.

4. I think Media Sessions - at least on Windows 11 - are not registered properly. When pressing pause/forward/back on my keyboard it's only working when sonixd is in focus.

5. When in album view, filtering by genre and the sorting order are exclusiv to one another, even though the subsonic allows both query parameters simultaneously. Moved to #39

You can currently view artists and albums within a modal without leaving the page when using grid-view. Allow the same option when using list-view, either by context menu or some other clickable method.

Add scrobble to last.fm when playing tracks on sonixd.

Describe the solution you'd like

For scrobble, ideally you send a /rest/scrobble?submission=false at the beginning of the track, to signal a NowPlaying state, and at the end you send a /rest/scrobble?submission=true to mark as played. This documentation may help: https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling#when-is-a-scrobble-a-scrobble
In Navidrome UI, I send the submission=true after 50% or 4 minutes into the song, and I send it for all tracks, disregarding their length

• From deluan

Hello my friend,
first of all thank you for your nice client!
I wish to hear all of my music in my library, but there is not an option to do this. So I think that you can do in the left a "Radio" button or something like that. That would be wonderful.

Have a nice day

Greetings
