There's another issue here, part of the reason things are done the way they are. Imagine the following pages:
Pg 1:
Dancing Queen - ABBA
Mamma Mia - ABBA
Look of Love - ABC
All that She Wants - Ace of Base
Pg 2:
Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Cryin' - Aerosmith
Under My Wheels - Alice Cooper
Every Heartbeat - Amy Grant
Pg 3:
Baby Baby - Amy Grant
Manic Monday - The Bangles
Help - The Beatles
Reflection - Christina Aguilera
Pg 4:
Since You're Gone - The Cars
Drive - The Cars
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Pg 5:
Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Hotel California - The Eagles
There Goes My Everything - Engelbert Humperdinck
Drowned - Entombed
As currently implemented, pressing NextAlpha on page 1 will go straight to page 4. With the suggested change, pressing NextAlpha goes to page 3. But what does pressing it again do? Does it go to page 5 (the last artist on 3 is a C, and the next change is the D on 5) or stay on page 3 (moving strictly from A to B) and then stay on 3 for the next press (strictly from B to C), only changing to 5 after the third press on one page?
To be honest, NONE of these options "feels" right to me, which is of course why I almost scrapped the feature entirely.
Any thoughts? What would you expect pressing NextAlpha to do on the above set of pages?
