MSN Spaces alphabetised my playlists
And I’m annoyed.
I spent several evenings using WMP 10 to create 3 stories using songs. I carefully ordered the songs to tell the stories.
When I uploaded the playlists to MSN Spaces it decided that the songs should be ordered alphabetically.
If you surveyed music lovers would you discover that ‘alphatetically’ ordered songs is the most popular way to arrange playing them?
NO, no, no….
I suspect it is the easiest way to write new code to arrange them.
Lazy, lazy, lazy
Both MSN Spaces and WMP 10 are Microsoft products. WMP has the code to create and maintain a song order. Why didnt they give that code to MSN Spaces? Why can’t they manage to be functionally equivalent? Failing that, they could have at least warned me not to spend the time to use one product to create a story that couldnt be maintained by another product. A nasty suprise.
Feedback = Poor show Microsoft, with one silly implementation decision you’ve undone a lot of thoughtful, time consuming work on my part,
Disappointed Wendy
