Hi,

following up the mediascanner/music app vUDS session last week I had a
look at the music app trying to figure out which API it requires from
mediascanner. From what I can see it's at least the file name, title,
artist, album, thumbnail, year, track number, duration and genre if
available that is needed by music app to initialize/sync the DB. Is
there anything I missed? If not, we'll be working on providing such an
API including qml bindings so that music app will work with refactored
mediascanner.

Later, as step two, we might want to go further and store duplicate less
information in music app DB, so we'd need functions for:
- getting all music
- getting all artists
- getting all songs from one artist
- getting all covers from one artist
- getting all albums
- getting all songs for a given album
- getting all genres
- getting all songs of a given genre

Anyway, let's start with first step. Is there anything I didn't pay
attention to?


Best regards,

Thomas
