well, I was messing with my zune HD earlier, and thought of an idea for PS
ok, for anyone who doesn't know how a zune HD's song selection works heres a picture:
now of course I'm not talking about the color or theme, there is one function on the zune I think PS would really benefit from. See the letters? the zune alphabetically organizes each song by artist, and each time you change to a different letter it places the letter you changed to above it, additionally, you can click a letter and it will show the alphabet allowing you to choose a letter to jump too, now, instead of touching a letter in the menus, PS can allow you to type a letter on the keyboard and could jump to that part of the alphabet, and have the letters small (the game skips over them while scrolling down) just big enough to make a break in the setlist. I think having the letters in there would make the song selection screen look a bit cleaner and the keyboard function would really help in trying to find a specfic song/band
I know that you plan to have a search function, but i think this would work well alongside a search function, or it might even be better then a search function in general. What does everyone else think?
just thinking about it a little more you could even add a button combo on a controller to skip down a list by letters, something like "Blue" + "Strum up" or "strum down"
