My Question or Issue

Hey guys,

After the latest update (the one that brought the new UI) I can no longer double click a currently playing folder to restart it; instead, double clicking on the name of the folder would simply pause it and repeating the double click will resume the music being played.

Prior to this update, double clicking a folder would immediately play it anew regardless of whether it's already playing or not.

Could you please take a peek at that? 🙂 Having multiple playlists in a folder, I often feel like I need to shuffle up my queue but now I need to perform extra steps before I can restart a folder (or a playlist, behaviour is the same). There's already the Pause/Resume button in the controls, as well as right under the folder/playlist name, I'd love to instead go back to restarting a folder/playlist if double-clicking the name.

Thanks!

Why would you guys even decide to change this feature when your shuffle doesnt even work properly as a shuffle, rather as a randomizer, and no other way to shuffle playlist apart from preemtively pressing the the shuffle button.

It actually makes 0 sense to me, how this helps anybody, who would even suggest such a garbage change and why would ANYONE entertain the idea. I've been trying.to wrqp my head around it and it's honestly quite infuriating even trying to come up with any type of justification in my head.

We already have multiple ways to pause/play not even including keayboard shortcuts and no dedicated shuffle feature? It not like this hasn't been a problem for a while now. There are hundreds of threads and suggestions in your forum to address such basic issues amd features in a music player, but yet to this day you guys haven't even done anything close. 

Are these forums for actual user suggetions or are they just a place for your customers to vent thier frustrations without having to take any actual action?
