Great device, but a few issues
#1
Hey, I just got my Tangara today! Love the device so far, but I noticed a few issues.
  • The little cover for the SD card gets stuck in the case. I now have to loosen the screws on the front of the device to get the SD card out. I feel like if it was just a little bit smaller, there would be no issue
  • The next button doesn't seem to work, which is quite annoying as I now have to go back to the list each time. It also doesn't go to the next song after one finishes. Could this be due to how I structured my files? I have my files structured as "Artist > Albums > Tracks".  Firmware 1.1.2.

I had this issue as well (thread here) and it was suggested to turn the SD card cover upside down.  Just pull it off of your SD card and flip it the other way and put it back onto the card.  That did help with the issue for me.

Are you playing music using the file browser?  That doesn't currently support playing more than a single track (issue here) so you'd have to use a database index for now.  (For example, "Albums by Artist" on the home screen, once the database is finished indexing.)

I'll try that. It worked, thanks!

Ah okay, I see. Indeed when I play an album I can skip to the next song. But even within one of these database indexes, if I select a single track then I cannot go to the next one.

That's expected behaviour. Selecting an individual track just adds that track and that track only to the queue. To add an album or database index (ie, all tracks, tracks with a particular genre) to the queue you'd use the "play/shuffle" all buttons, or the "enqueue" button to add tracks to the existing queue.

It sounds like a "play from here" feature is maybe what you're after? I've created an issue on our repo (https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang...issues/205) for adding this feature as well as adding a way to enqueue individual tracks.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm used to Spotify. When I play an individual track, the player is aware of the "surrounding" tracks, depending on where I play it from. If I play it from a playlist, I can go to the previous or next track in that playlist. If I play from an album, it knows about the tracks on that album. And so on.

The "Play from here" feature sounds like it would solve that Smile
