Continuous scrolling (remove next /previous page)
Having next and previous page buttons as well as scrolling is a jarring experience. Removing scrolling all together and just have next previous buttons would be better but having a single scrollable album list would be the best solution. I think if you load info ahead of the current scrolling position it should be possible. I'm assuming it's done the current way for performance reasons but there are ways around this with a bit more work obviously.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. This is actually done in the coming update, see my latest comment in the comment section at the BOTTOM of this page: https://mmremote.uservoice.com/forums/216825-general/suggestions/7552941-continuous-scrolling-remove-next-previous-page.

Hi there!
Do you by any chance have an old version of the remote? As you describe it, with both scrolling and buttons, it sounds like you have the 1.6 version, where you could “slide” the album art to get to other tracks. Is that right?
If so, I suggest you update to the latest version (currently 2.4, with 2.5 ready to be released in a couple of weeks). These versions have lots of improvements, including your “step 1”: removing scrolling all together.
This was done because the slide views caused a lot of problems, and made maintenance a nightmare for me. Currently, I am planning to retry the slide views at a later time (and may remove prev/next buttons if it works well enough), but I can’t say anything about when that happens.
Please let me know if you had an older version, or if your concern is with the newest. If so, please try to make me understand what you mean with “scrolling”. :)

Excellent! I look forward to it! Thanks for your response.

You should be able to see the version in Settings => Help => About.
But anyway, I misunderstood you. I though you were talking about the main tag (the one with album art, play/pause, previous/next track, and so on). In earlier versions, you could slide the album art to left or right for next/previous track, and it was this feature I though you were talking about.
But I now see that you mean the Library tab. Yes, the page system was there for performance reasons, and yes, the filter worked by removing everything before the selected button. But in update 2.5, which will be released pretty soon now, I have made large changes to the Library tab, including continuous scrolling. No more pages!

I can't seem to find any way to view the version number. Is it displayed somewhere in the app?

I installed it a couple of days ago so I assume I'm on the latest version.
I'm not really sure what you mean about slide views but if I go to Albums then I can scroll down maybe 50 albums (that gets me to a couple of Cs in my album list) but then I have to click "next page".
Also I've just noticed that selecting the filters don't work as expected. For example selecting C removes everything before C but you can still get to D, E, F, etc. Why not just make this a jump to (ie. no need for clear filter and keep the previous letters). Perhaps this needs to be raised as a separate issue.
