n-Stream feature request

Posted by: Ian P on 04 May 2013

A simple one - I hope.

 

I've used Sonos for years, and now n-Stream. Both are lacking a simple function I'd love to see...

 

The JTO button. This would stop the player after the current track has finished - "Just This One...".

 

There are loads of times when I need to stop listening and still have a bunch of tracks queued up. such as when I'm too tired to stay up any longer, or someone wants me do something else!

 

Currently you either have to just stop mid-track, or hover with a finger over the play/pause button to catch it at the end of the track.

 

So, in the next n-Stream release can I have a JTO button? Up between the prev/play-pause/next button group and the loop/repeat ones would seem right. Please!

Not familiar with the Naim app but a clear queue option for the now playing list could be useful. Doesn't Sonos already have this? A full always on screen button seems excessive.

 

On the topic of feature requets: Is there any way to try the app without a Naim streamer? I'd like to try the current version versus iTunes remote as I start dreaming of an ND5 but don't want to visit a dealer as it will take a while to save and I may 'just' go with a used NDAC.

Don't hold your breath.  I'm still waiting for a fast forward/reverse function, or something like on the iPhone where you can just touch the bar showing where you are in the recording and drag it to where you want to be.  Very useful when you're listening to audiobooks etc and missed what someone said (usually because someone insisted on talking to you at that point!)

...just like you have in the N-serve app in fact.    Extremely useful when compiling playlists and you want to skip the intro, listen to a few seconds in the middle, then either add-to-playlist or go to the next track.

 

One day soon...

I think the fast forward / rewind function is more about streamer board software changes in the network player rather than Nstream. I suspect architecturally Naim are finding this non straightforward or I am sure it would have appeared by now. I agree it would be really useful, especially with longer tracks such as with classical music.

fast forward . wont happen. the only addition that would be useful is from playing to main menu in one button.
