Suggestion for the regen counter

Is there a way to tell what all of the regen counters are at. I request at different times in the day and most of the time I have no idea when I would regain the points that I used before. The regen counter only counts to the time when the points would be full. I wanted to know if there is a way to program it to tell us when individual groups of points are going to become available for our use.

I would find it more useful if it showed the next batch of points to be generated and not the last. For example, if you currenty have 10 points available, I would much rather see that I will have another 250 available in 3 hours than see that I will have 20 available in 23 hours.

That would work too. I just want to know when I will get my points back so I can spend them again. They are just burning a hole in my pocket and I'm spending them before I have them. :)

This is about as bad as spending money, but you can't get money back.

Wouldn't that be great, you buy something and then 24 hrs later you get the money back. Plus you can gain more money by talking to people. Too bad it isn't like this.

Huh? It shows when the next points are going to come back. It shows the cost of your earliest request within 24 hours.

it does that if you request a song lets say you have 150 points. You request a song that is 25 points and then another for 50 points and 5 min later one for 25 points again. the system will tell you that in 23:xx:xx hours you will get back the first 25 once those are back it then shows the next 50 then again when those are back it shows the next 25.

Thats what the system dows if you see that it is counting down from 23 hrs than thats the soonest you'll be getting any points back.

I can request lets say 10 songs 1 right after another now 24hrs later I will start to see my points coming back minute after minute.

I hope this has helped you

Actually the timer shows when your last points will return. Everytime you request a new song it starts over at 24 hours. So basically its a countdown until your points will be 100% back.

Whew, glad it is not just me this is happening to. I thought I was sane.

Just wanted to bump this back up for Subsonic. Not sure it is operating the way you intended. You might want to check it out.

I just wanted to clear up some of the confusion that may be out there.
Let's say that I request a 600 point song at 10:00pm, the regen counter counts down from 24 hrs. Then the next day at 7:00am I request a 450 point song, the counter will count down from 24hrs until I get the most recent 450 points back.
What I wanted to ask is if somehow the counter can be adjusted to show when I will get that 600 points back instead of when I get the 450 back.
Hope that made sense.

The way you want it is the way Subsonic says it is/should be working.

I tried to sign up for the tracker but I still haven't recieved my confirmation so I can't get in.

I just tried it. It starts a new countdown from 24hrs saying when I will have my full amount of points.

On a side note Subsonic, have you changed the now playing to only show 1 song when there aren't any songs queued up? Because now I only see one upcoming song when there is nothing requested.
