I know adding scrolling to text fields is possible in Android so this should be
possible.

I've researched it a little bit. And looked at the code. Not sure where you
specify the display, but since it seems to be all just XML, you just gotta
encapsulate your Views into a single ScrollView, i.e.:
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<RelativeLayout ...>
<ImageView .../>
<TextView .../>
//all the rest of your stuff here
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

Actually I think we may want to use this instead...

OK I uploaded a BETA APK on the Downloads page which no longer ellipsizes the
Playlist names. The marquee scrolling did not work since it only works when
the item has focus but once you click on the item it takes you into the
playlist.

Yes that works well. Now at least you are able to also see the music with long
names :)
Tho the same would have to be done also for Artists and such.
As for scrolling not working without focus, I found this here as a possible
option for that. Not sure if you want to try it, to see what looks better?

I saw that too but I was scared off by this user comment...
"By the way, we actually had problems with this solution, since it messes up
stateful drawables: if you change drawables with focus-in/focus-out, then this
will break. Took us almost an hour of debugging until we realized this hack was
causing it. – Matthias Dec 3 '10 at 14:23"
As for making the Artist also visible I agree but with the Album name, since
the Album cover is also there I think leaving the cell a unified size and
making the album have the ... might be a good idea. what do you think?

Oh yea, saw that after I posted this here. Meh we don't wanna make more work
than necessary lolz
I agree on Artist and Album cover. But I got to admit, that I don't see an
option to search for Albums. I just noticed that now, is that wanted?
Thanks for the work btw :)

OK i will fix the Artist list but not touch the Album list. The Album list I
was referring to was when you click on an Artist it drills into their Album
list.
There is no search by Album one user submitted a patch but the patch did not
work...

Ok just tried it out. The not being cut off looks great :) Working well too.
The highlight on the other hand seems to still have some bugs.
When I have a longer list of songs, say 10 or anything that you need to scroll
for. The first time you scroll down, just the now playing song is highlighted
nicely, but when scrolling back up, other songs are highlighted as well, that
are not playing.

OK let me look into that. I wonder if it has to do with speed of the redraw as
the emulator is really slow!

OK I posted a new BETA can you retest and see if Light Blue is no longer
sticking?

The highlighting works now and only highlights one. One more thing, is there a
way to have it automatically refresh the Now Playing then? Because if you stay
on the Now Playing page, it won't refresh the highlighting when the next song
starts. You first have to go to the song window or some other window, and go
back to the Now Playing, in order to refresh the list with the new current song
to be highlighted.

I will see what I can do but right not that window is loaded upon opening. It
is not listening for changes when the track changes in the background. I will
see how difficult it is to do that but might simply add a Refresh menu option
on that screen instead.

Yea that would work just fine, the Refresh menu option.

OK I added Refresh and Clear Cue menu options to the Now Playing window in the
latest BETA.
For the Clear Cue to work properly in MonkeyTunes you will need to install the
latest MT BETA 1.5.3 and you will have to make sure the RespectClearCueCommand
is TRUE or else the Clear Cue command will obviously be ignored.
