 Sponsor | Happibun | Sep 12, 2007 4:59pm | What's annoying you? Features you'd like to see? Grumble about it here.
Here's my starters for 10.
A. I'd like to see an undo button so you can quickly undo an addition if you have accidentally put a track in to the wrong list.
B. The I'm lazy button only seems to add random tracks from artists that you have already added, rather than similar ones that you might not have considered. It is pretty useless for me.
C. The playlist list always pops down and only stays open for a shortish while. If I'm at the bottom of a list, I have to scrabble about on my trackpad to get the page scrolled down further and get the addition clicked in time before the list disappears. |

B. I haven't tried the "I'm lazy" feature yet, so can't comment.
C. I would prefer if the playlist closed automatically once a track has been added, so that the dropdown menu appears for the next track. I've added a few tracks to the wrong playlist and it takes time to rectify the error.
D. I don't like the way that when you click on "I'm a fan" you get taken to the page which shows you all the other fans. It wastes time. I can check that page myself if I want to.
I'm not sure that these things are bugs, though. Just little irritants. |

No, I haven't used the I am lazy button yet.
I have got into the habit of closing the playlist each time I add a track, and it comes as second nature to me now.
Yes, the fan thing has annoyed me. Also, when you are looking at a list of tracks and add to yours (I think this happens when you are looking at someone's playlist) - when you add the track, you get taken back to the top of the playlist and have to scroll down again - I haven't noticed what you mention at C though, Happi. |

|  Sponsor | Happibun | Sep 13, 2007 4:38am | 4, Bummer about the proxy :-(
1, C, I'm using a piddly little laptop with a tiny screen, so I have to scroll to do almost everything. The timed list feature is bugging me lots. Grrr.
3, I too tend to close the lists after adding a track, however I have found that you can get problems if you do this and then use your browser's back button. The list sometimes re-opens 'invisibly', and the next time you click the add button, you end up putting a track in to the wrong play list. You then have to go through a convoluted process to take the track off again (if you noticed the mistake in the first place), and then remember how to navigate to what you want without using the back button. Double grrr.
2, No, I'm sure that most of these things are not 'bugs' per se, but things that need ironing out to improve ease of use. |

|  Sponsor | MonkeyMagico | Sep 13, 2007 4:48am | | I have not encountered the time problem yet so can not comment but do agree the interface usability could do with some sort of adjustments.. I have got used to the peculiarities as I have been on this quite a lot... No signs of addiction what so ever ;P |

|  Sponsor | FreakyFrankie | Sep 14, 2007 6:50am | | Anyone else log on to their page only to find their icons missing? I even tried downloading new icons but with no luck. Looks like finetune is going through it's share of MySpace moments (if you have a MySpace account you'll know what I'm talking about). |
|
|  Sponsor | ericthehamster | Sep 14, 2007 6:53am | | I haven't noticed that, but I don't think I log out when I leave Finetune (I'm not sure whether that is significant). |
|
|  Sponsor | FreakyFrankie | Sep 14, 2007 6:59am | | Hey, Eric (#8)! I had a reply to your comment but it got deleted from this forum for some reason. Oh, no! The finetune bugs followed me here! Be afraid... be very afraid!!! Seriously, things are looking and sounding good at finetune for me now. |
|
|  Sponsor | ericthehamster | Sep 14, 2007 8:28am | I think I saw your earlier posting! You do seem to have the gremlins, today.
Hopefully all will be well now :-) |
