The equaliser is not important enough to warrant a button of it's own.

gets rid of three redundant buttons in the interface.Ĥ. Skip buttons have been combined with the fast forward button in almost any interface by now.

Why the need for this redundant option?ģ. There is a stop button that afaics just closes the video window. All the necessary options should be able to fit into the video window.Ģ. The OS X version shows the video with controls in the same window as the video, but ALSO shows a separate controller window. Most of my comments are about the Mac version, but some of them should be relevant to other versions as well.ġ. although I wish there was some care being taken about the interface. it's been above a 1.0 for YEARS now, just fucking call it what it is, and cut with the ritualistic, elitist, OSS symbolism bullshit. Obviously, the finer points of this can be debated and are up to the descresion of the developer, but at a certain point, COME ON! When you've been working on a reasonably small audio player for over 4 years, and haven't even reached your 1.0, this tells me one of two things 1) You don't know how to code, and probably should find a new line of work, or 2) you're using numbers under 1.0 as a symbol of you're elitist OSS community status. No, 1.0 means 'finished to the point of usability and beta tested to a certain level of solidity'. But I've started to see a trend in the OSS community towards NEVER releasing a 1.0, as if 1.0 means that you're now an evil commercial entity that must be punished. I remember a time in which anything under 1.0 meant that a program was practically unusable and ONLY for elite users. Version Number Deflation looks just as silly.

I can understand the concern for version number inflation (Netscape 4 -> Netscape 6 was idiotic, same with Winamp 3 -> Winamp 5), but let's not be overly humble to the point of confusing users. NOT major format additions, a UI overhaul, and a boatload of additional features!

Is it just me, or does it make NO SENSE that this is a point.point upgrade? I don't care who you are, 0.0.1 upgrades are for things like bug fixes, small new implimentations, slight library recompiles.
