Next/prev folder via headset / more encodings support?

[embrion]

Hi,

it would be nice to be able to switch folders via headset. Button hold for next folder at least, but click+click and hold for next folder, double click+click and hold for prev. folder would be best. Any chances for that?

Also, would it be much work to include more encodings support? (ISO-8859-2 and Win-1250)

Thanks.

Thanks for the requests.

It's actually possible to switch folders (or any other type of lists - albums/artists/playlists/genres/etc.) with 3+ button headsets (i.e. with > buttons). Long(or double - depends on settings) press on > will switch it. Htc stock headsets, bt headsets like sony bt50 or SE mw600 are examples of such headsets.

More encodings are possible (I'll try to add the mentioned by you encodings, though, of course only if Android supports them)

Thanks for answer. I know about BT headsets capability to do that but I prefer wired ones (because of SQ) and Samsung Galaxy S (and Samsung generally) offer only 1 button remotes. To make things worse, Nokia or HTC multi-button remotes extra buttons doesn't work with Samsung.

From my (coder) point of view, it there's a function to handle folders switching and button hold action support, then joining those two wouldn't take A LOT of coding time. I believe there would be a few people also interested in such feature. Could you think about implementing it ?

Thanks for encodings part.
