I think the current way, with one left click for the next song, or right click for next subsong is good. It helps differentiate next file from next song. However, your idea would be good if when doing so it would also randomize the subsongs with the rest of the files. Kind of like an optional song/subsong behavior in preferences.

It's been a while since I've requested anything. I remember requesting unicode support on .cue files, which to my pleasant surprise was very promptly supported in 3.5. Ever since, I haven't touched much in my XMplay, until recently, when I had to reorganize the libraries and some new music folders. I've only upgraded XMplay three times: 2.6, 3.0.0.0, 3.5.0.0. and 3.5.1.4 the most recent upgrade. I remember when I got 3.0 I was like WOW a new version? You always keep bringing good stuff. I never thought it was still being developed.

Now that said, I do have over 20k entries in my lists and library, and just started realizing that something very crucial had changed since 3.4. I usually navigate quickly through the playlist (one click would take me there), clicking on the appropriate positions to edit the playlist, and I was shocked and irked to find that the SCROLLBAR rectangle now works like windows's scrollbar. It serves its purpose and I live with it, but I do think it sucks.

So one complaint about the new scrollbar: I found out unpleasantly that now I have to click two buttons at the same time on xmplay to do what before took one quick click. That's not the problem. If I get the order of the clicks wrong, It jumps back and forth to the currently playing song, back and forth. This is what ultimately makes this a deal breaker. I can understand if there were a middle click to scroll like the olden days, but removing the old behavior completely makes me want to cry.

TL;DR,
I plead you: please bring the old scrollbar back! (or at least an option to make it behave like it had always been)
Actually, for those who like the new scroll behavior, I can take a compromise. If the old scrolling behavior can be assigned to a single middle click, I'll be happy. Thanks Ian!

I liked the old form. There's a rule that goes: entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, which is the principle that "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity".
We already have the scroll wheel, and in the old XMplay, we had a way to quickly move more than either of those allowed by scroll wheel, and that was the single left click on the bar. However, we removed a perfectly good way of browsing the LONG lists, in favor or adding a redundant PageDown functionality through the mouse, which IMHO is okay, had it not been at the expense of removing the only ´single click´ operation for quickly moving through lists. Yes, the leftclick with a rightclick modifier gesture works, but that´s beyond the point. We added something redundant by removing a simply great feature, just to stick with the "feel" of windows scrollbars. I loved the old scrollbar feel and I miss it.

If this had been implemented with an option to restore the same old behavior, or with this "page down" function added to the middle click and left the leftclick behavior intact, I wouldn't be going at lengths to restore it.

I say XMplay is still the best Windows modular music player in the universe. How a scrollbar acts will not change my opinion, but copying the feel of windows just to be like windows is not what people should be thinking of as an improvement.

If you still think what I said does not apply, then you think that clicking two buttons is natural, and I don't (I have lost the count of years that I've been an XMplay user), and I clearly remember that the scrollbar required only one leftclick to take me anywhere in the playlist, not two.

Can I have the old 3.4 scrollbar behavior back? Link

The godawful windows scrolling behavior is killing me.

Click two buttons at the same time? Is there a better fix?

Edit: That's not a fix. It behaves the same way.
I could really use the old 3.4 behavior back, but rolling back versions is not an option for me, since it crashes, breaks my library, and doesn't display my cjk-unicode cue files correctly.

I liked using the scroll bar on the library or playlist, as I would use it often. Not so ever since it behaves like windows scrollbar.

I very much liked the default behavior of XMPlay click and it would take me to the n-thousandth song immediately.
Now it works just like Windows scroll bar (yuck!), where if you don't click on the scrolling switch itself, it will start doing pagedowns.

It is very annoying to click then realize you have to go get and drag the bar itself to scroll down to where I want. I don't want "pagedowns" (I have a scroll wheel for that).

How do I make it work as before, yet keep the "right click on scrollbar takes you to current song" functionality, which saves me from pressing a key on the keyboard?

  Disregard my last post. after downloading  www.un4seen.com/stuff/xmplay.exe I see that this has been fixed.
