Re: Music app.
Hi all,
First, I do think we should move the discussion away from here, so I'm off
to the teams mail list from now on. I just sent out a mail, which I pasted
below.
Michael, I agree with you that we should probably be talking now first hand
and writing it down. See the mail below.
Zisu, agreed. Its better if we try to work together instead of having all
these different projects. At least in the beginning. Although I might say
that I want a separated music and video player. But remote things sounds
nice. Using mod this would be easier.
And about Umedia, I'm thinking about reusing, almost porting, the whole
thing for this project. But this is a discussion for the team.
Mail:
Hi everyone and welcome,
I think we should start of my deciding what we want this application to be.
So I propose that everyone, who'd like, write down what features they want,
and then we discuss these features and if we all agree with therm, create a
blueprint and a goal.
Features for the first release is primary focus, but features for later
versions are welcome too, of course.
What I want the player to do:
* play music tracks of a diverse container from local device.
* pause track, and use previous and next track.
* being able to shuffle
* Scrabble tracks
* use slider to move quickly in the track
* download and show album art automatically.
* use playlists,create and edit them.
* sort by artist, album and track
* sound menu for global management.
These are the features I could imagine for later on :
* support for upnp
* for ampache
* groveshark/spotify.
* YouTube support
* lyrics
Please share your ideas and create a base of our development.
Cheers,
Daniel
