    Tired of shuffling through all the genres?

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a customizable button in the FFR main screen? (Like the arcade, dance, and rock buttons.) My idea is to put in one button that the user can customize with his/her favorite songs. This way, people wouldn't have to keep shuffling around the different genres for the song they want to play! (Ok, maybe thats a little lazy, but wouldn't it be nice?)

    I posted this same idea a few weeks back, but I still agree it is a nice one. Should be called 'favorites' or something.

          Maybe hotkeying the Genres with 1-9 on the keyboard would be a good idea too for faster access.
          One day there will be a really cool sig here. But not right now.

              It would be nice if the "try again" button would go straight to the song you where just playing.

                Or the same genre, yeah. There should be 'try song again' 'back to genre' and 'back to main screen' buttons.

                    Hmmm, yes I found on my somewhat crappy machine it takes a while, but for those that have menu problems, just change the quality to pretty crappy, and it should go faster.
                    But if it's not your computers fault, then just stop being lazy...or something....

                      I haven't found it a huge problem. I think his first priority in that department should be getting a 'Replay Song' feature added on the score screen.

                        How about on the main screen (before you start a song) there are buttons that link to the past 5 songs you've played (not counting ones you've accessed from that list)?

                          Re: Tired of shuffling through all the genres?

                          I think that Hip Hop, Funk, Rock, and Misc should all just be Misc. I mean, I know that's a lot of merging, but each of the genres in there do have some vague similarities, and there aren't a whole lot of songs in any of them.

                          Secret and Purchased should be merged. Every "secret" song should first be unlocked by doing something (i.e. FC certain song, get certain score, etc.), and then purchased at the shop. That means we'd already have 7 "Secret songs" (not counting the one with the triples)

                          Dance and Arcade are big enough on their own.

                          Maybe keep classic seperate since those ones are real hard... or make them secret

                          That's 4 or 5 genres... of course all that merging might be weird. In that case, we can just wait for poor Synthlight to make a quick-nav like the in the old one. I see a good space on that line where the Q button is.

                            Ah, like the Windows XP start menu... nice!
