| Summary | 0002378: Burning of Pre-select tracks doesn't have a useful mask | ||||
| Description | The current design of the burn wizard is such that: -Playlists are burnt using a mask that is optimized for tracks that need to be organized by playlist and played in a particular sequence other than Track# -Other tracks are burnt using a mask that is optimized for tracks that need to be played in order of Track# However, when one selects a group of tracks to be burnt OR clicks Burn CD/DVD from within the Now Playing dialog, they expect that the tracks will be burnt in the order in which they appear, HOWEVER, currently in the default configuration they end up being burnt using the 'standard' mask which is designed for playback by Track #. An easy fix to this would be for Pre-selected tracks to be treated as a Playlist (i.e. they should appear sub to the 'Playlist' node in the Disc Burning Wizard), with a playlist name of 'Selected Tracks'). Thus if a mask included <Playlist>, then "Selected Tracks" would appear for that 'Playlist'. | ||||

I don't see any problem, I belive that pre-selected tracks are burnt in the order in which they appear (i.e. NOT in order of Track#). I don't think that they should appear sub to the 'Playlist' node - it could be quite confusing and harder to find them in the whole tree. |

I'll try to state the problem in a slightly different way: If the user has 50 tracks in Now Playing and then clicks 'Burn' -->The tracks will burn using the default mask of \Music\<Album Artist>-<Album>\<Track#:2> <Artist>-<Title> Most likely, however, this isn't what the user meant to do. What they probably intended was to burn the tracks with the mask of: \<Auto Number>-<Artist>-<Title> (if those are the only tracks they're burning) or \Music\Playlists\<Playlist>\<Auto Number>-<Title> [where <Playlist> = 'New Playlist'](if other tracks are being burnt as well) So the bug is that a) that isn't happening and b) when they enable the playlist mask, it still isn't happening I agree with you, though that there's a simpler solution to the problem. i.e. we could just add a new 'Disc Format' mask to satisfy this usecase: \<Auto Number> <Artist>-<Title> |

That is strange. To me is the default mask for 'Disc Format:' \Music\<Artist>-<Title> and pre-selected tracks appears in RIGHT ORDER. So we could change this default mask to \<Auto Number> <Artist>-<Title> or \Music\<Auto Number> <Artist>-<Title> but to me the current default mask is the most useful in general. |

Re. the default mask: you're right that \Music\<Artist>-<Title> is the default Disc Format mask, and that a mask like this (or \Music\<Album Artist>-<Album>\<Track#:2> <Artist>-<Title>) are probably the most useful masks. My comment is in relation to the specific usecase where a user selects a Playlist via either the Tracklist or the Now Playing window and tries to burn that playlist, in which case there's no useful mask at the moment (since none of the existing Disk Format masks include Play Order, and since the Playlist masks, which _do_ include play order, don't apply to the pre-selected tracks). Thus the simple solution is to just add a new Disc Format mask (and not make it the default): \<Auto Number> <Artist>-<Title> Does this clarify the issue? Side Note: We might want to change the default to \Music\<Album Artist>-<Album>\<Track#:2> <Artist>-<Title> to avoid the problems described in bug 0002242. Thoughts? |

Ok, added \<Auto Number> <Artist>-<Title> mask as the second. (revision 1353) |
