Help each other out

Search directly on Music screen.

I have seen this in skins but cannot work out how to do it.

I am on my music screen - 1000+ albums. How can I go straight to the albums begining, say, with S. I would like to do this without going to the normal search overlay. I have seen skins that appear to have an search alphabet on the music screen.

Cheers

You can integrate an alphabet screen the way Jowaldo has in his skin - or just hit a key on your keyboard. If you hit the "S" key on your keyboard while browsing albums, Xlobby will automatically go to the first album page in your collection that contains and album that starts with that letter.

Hi,
Integrating an alphabet screen the way Jowaldo has in his skin is really cool. I am trying to adapt a skin for only touchsrceen - the alphabet, I think , is my only way to go.

If you copy the musicjump database in my skin to yours, that will probably save you a lot of work. Also one other thing that is important is when you run the event to open an overlay for it, it has to be a "open abc overlay" command.

Glad you like that feature :)
