Alphabet navigation

[jicho]

Hi,

Is it possible to add/activate the alphabet navigation? The list of albums is long and the large icons are taking up lots of space.

A alphabet navigation, like this:

would be (really) welcome. I have no idea if this is supported for services ;)

When that's not the case... Can it be an idea to make it possible to switch from full album covers into a small cover with the album text besides it on smaller screens?

(Sorry for yet another request)

Is that alphabet navigation from the sonos app? I haven't seen anything in the docs about enabling that.

I think the view can be changed from an album list to more like the artist list, however with square images rather than round.

No point in doing this without fixing the number of albums that can be rendered in the list so you can scroll to the end of the collection.

Okay, so no alphabet navigation it is.
The Artis list is rather ugly and als lacks the alphabet... I mean... The round icons are ugly.

Although I do have other "services" connected that have list navigation without any round icons.
Have a look, for example at TuneIn, the start is the icon list (just as in bonob). The next list is a normal list with folder or custom icons just as with "Genres" in bonob.

Based on what I see in the Sonos App round icons are not default everywhere (or maybe can be skipped).

Maybe this is the link to the alphabet:

Sonos uses getScrollIndices to enable **alphabetical scrolling** for large collections of metadata.

I didn't make the icons round on purpose, sonos app did that on it's own, presumably because i decided it was a different type of list. Perhaps it just name matched that fact that I named the list "artists".

Scroll indices look good, ill look into that.
