Navigation: "starred Songs/favourite"

[stvogel]

Although I can "star" my favourite songs with a subsonic client and I can see that the information is stored in the database. There is no way to show my starred songs in the web-frontend. Would be great to have a list of favourite songs and the possibility to mark a song as favourite, e.g. in the details

Thanks for the suggestion.

As I see it, just being able to star a song wouldn't be much different from creating a playlist of your favorite songs. Being in sync with the starring of the Subsonic client would of course be a benefit.

But Subsonic allows you to star also albums and artists. Now, if we had a web UI view showing all the starred songs, albums, and artists, that would bring some genuine added value.

Ooh, so you are suggesting staring songs could automatically create a "favorite" playlist? What a neat idea.

Just spitballing but what if staring a folder or album created a playlist of their own? Totally could get in the weeds with that one I bet.

Hello @paulijar ! :)

Let me first thank you for your great application, I recently discovered the new "Radio" section which is just awesome and that I indeed needed a lot. Your work is wonderful and your great application is progressively covering-up all the music-related use cases. Many thanks for this and once again many thanks for your great work !

Because words are nice but acts are better, I would like to donate you a modest amount of money of 10€, where can I send it to you ?

Apart from this and back to the actual starred/favourite issue, I recently tried and imported a huge webradio list, but I cannot star my favourite ones and (for example) have them pinned on top of the webradio list. Scrolling through them to find a channel or to hop to another one if quite difficult. Do you know if there is a way to achieve this or if it would be possible to achieve through playlists or something else ?

Also (but this is another issue), the streamed webradio music title is displayed through VLC when playing, but does not appear and scroll horizontally in the web interface when playing from the Music app, so I unfortunately cannot see the title of the music that is playing.

Many thanks in advance for your kind help Pauli ! :)

@TtuxX Thanks for your words and I'm happy if people find the app useful.

If you really want to donate, then I think this should work: https://paypal.me/pools/campaign/115517990152955120

I can see how starring could be useful also in the radio view, thanks for the suggestion. Another alternative, I've been considering, would be to allow reordering the radio station list with drag and drop, similarly as with the playlists. But the feature, which is probably first on my task list for the radio view, is the ability to rename stations. Once implemented, this can also be used to move your favorite channels to the top by prefixing them with something like "AAA". As of today, you can use the search feature of the Music app to find your desired station from the list, provided you remember its name (or URL). Just hit ctrl+f and start typing, and the radio station list is filtered in real time.

I created a new issue #829 for the music title on web radio thing.

@paulijar Done, I donated :) Do not hesitate to tell me if you have not received it.

The feature to rename stations is a very good idea and the one to reorganize them seems to be a very good idea too. If one day there would be the possibility to put a star to add them in favorites like the Nextcloud Files application (or to reorganize them by drag and drop), it would really be awesome :)

I discovered the Webradio feature this afternoon for the first time and I hadn't yet had the opportunity to use the search in my webradios list. I imported more than 400 webradios from websites such as Digitally Imported and used the search (ctrl+f) and the application is indeed very reactive and the sorting is immediate. The only concern for me (with so many webradios) is that I have to remember the ones I prefer, according to my mood haha

Thank you very much for creating the new issue for the webradio music title ! :) And thanks again for your great work and all the time you kindly dedicate to improve this great app for the community !

I got it, thanks!

@TtuxX Music v1.1.0 is now out, bringing support for renaming radio stations. One good option is now to prefix your favorite stations with an asterisk * to get them moved to the top of the list.

@paulijar Thank you very much for adding radio stations renaming, it works great! =)
