Disable repeat when playing an entire album/artist about auxio HOT 11 OPEN

This sounds like a good companion setting in the same vein as 'Remember Shuffle'. Will spec it out.

Okay, this makes sense @Martysh12. For consistency, I might go and invert Remember shuffle (and remember pause) in the same way.

from auxio.

So, I can spec this in three ways @Martysh12:

• Spec it exactly like you want, making the behavior to drop the repeat mode between playing from distinct sources. This is inconsistent with remember shuffle though.
• Spec it more broadly, making the behavior to drop the repeat mode when playing any new song (even from the same source, i.e if you're browsing around an artist).
• Make both Remember Shuffle and Remember Repeat both a type of dropdown with the prior options available at once (On, When playing from the same source, Never). This is really hard to explain coherently though.

@OxygenCobalt Could you elaborate on the 1st and the 3rd options please? What's a distinct source?

from auxio.

A distinct source is like playing from an Album vs. an Artist. So if I went with Option 1, the repeat mode would only clear when switching playback to an Artist from an Album, rather than when playing a new song within the album @Martysh12.

It's hard to explain, hence why I am hesitant. I would rather do Option 2 since it's much easier to explain to users.

from auxio.

Option 2 sounds like it would clear Repeat One whenever I switch to a new track, so I'm not quite sure about it. Option 1 makes more sense to me.
To elaborate, I usually Repeat One a track, then switch to a new one when I get bored. Option 2 sounds like it would clear the repeat mode, so it'll be a bit annoying to enable Repeat One every time I switch to a new track.

from auxio.

Yeah, that's what I want, but I can't figure out how to explain it clearly @Martysh12.

from auxio.

Hmm, maybe have a label next to the option with something like
"Disable repeat when switching to a different album/artist/genre"?

Actually, I really like the idea of having a dropdown and being able to choose when repeat clears. So the third option, maybe?

from auxio.

That would make explanation even harder UI-wise @Martysh12

from auxio.

Here, @OxygenCobalt, I made a mockup of the "clear repeat" option in settings.
Tbh, I think it makes a lot of sense UX-wise.
