The most annoying thing when browsing through artists and albums when using ANY music player is that the list is polluted with artists and albums from which one has very few tracks. It makes browsing for an artist or album increasingly pointless as one's music collection grows, and so people just end up using the search function exclusively. I believe that there is still hope for browsing however.


This is what the beginning of my Artist list looks like in Rhythmbox:

All 280 Artists (1884)
Artist 1 (11)
Artist 2 (1)
Artist 3 (1)
Artist 4 (1)
Artist 5 (23)
Artist 6 (1)
Artist 7 (1)
Artist 8 (1)
Artist 9 (3)
(...)

Up to G in my list of Artists, I can count over 50 artists from which I only have one track. Most of these are from compilation discs, online music stores, or are free promotional singles. It makes browsing by artist a nightmare.

The same is true for albums, though not quite as horrible.

I feel it would make sense to group artists 2-4 and 6-8 in "Other" artists at the very end of the list of artists in Rhythmbox.

One may also argue that Artist 9 should be thrown in as well. The maximum number of tracks by album or artist needed to group them into the "Other" category would ideally be configurable.

It would probably be most effective if this was done using tree expansion, such that the search bar maintains its usefulness in looking through all artists and albums.

I suggest to add a "beginner" mode by default (the current mode sould be easily avalaible) that "hide" the filesystem from / and that only shows mounted partitions and connected devices. Partitions in this mode should keep their label in the url (and so avoid /media/hda as an example)

My suggestion is that we develop a simple version of ubuntu for easy use by Kids. Nothing complicated just easy graphics and cool and simple applications. Something a 5year old would use.

Many Thanks

What would be nice is to have an indication of popularity of packages. It could serve a couple of purposes:
- indication to developers how many people on ubuntu use their software, not include it anymore if no-one is using it e.g.
- indication to users if software is used a lot... suppose you have 10 instant messagging applications in the repository where 2 or 3 are used by a lot of people and the rest is not. If I would install an IM I would then first also try the ones used a lot (which I hope would result in a better user experience).

Reset counters per ubuntu version. So in hindsight if the data remains available someone could even do popularity graphs over versions.

As soon as the mouse leaves the file, it stops.

This is an amazingly convenient feature which I would love to see in Ubuntu!

I use GNOME, and I don't want to see any of the KDE apps.

- Make a program (Ubuntu Game Browser) that is like adept or synaptic but only shows games (and emulators) that can be installed/removed with proper description and screenshots. This program would be automatically installed in Programs/Games

- Help financially projects like stepmania, frets on fire, sim-city like games etc. Games that are popular and would be successful on other platforms too, or mimic other successful games exclusively in linux. Make these available in the repositories and be sure to always have the latest version.

- Make a subpage on ubuntu.com for games. Also, games should be able to send "achievment points" or high scores to this page to show the top100 gamers for each popular game. There could also be an online matchmaker here

- Make easy to use interface in gnome and kde to configure gamepads, joysticks, dancepads, wheels etc. Be sure to support out of the box the wii controller, xbox360 controller etc...
