I'll admit it --my musical tastes are specialized. I love a broad range of
classical music -- and not much else. So I see programs like Clementine
through that lens. There are two things on my wishlist that would be
invaluable for classical music, but almost certainly far more widely useful.
1. Recursive playlists. This is an obvious enhancement and probably not
at all difficult for someone familiar with the procedures for modifying
Clementine. The idea is simple: an item in a playlist can either be a song
or another playlist. My favorite example of a natural hierarchy in a
library:
Beethoven -> String Quartets -> Early Quartets -> Quartet #2 -> 3rd
movement
But for a different domain, we might have:
Performer -> Tour -> Concert -> Song
You get the idea.
The pseudocode:
procedure play(item):
if song(item) then perform(item);
else for each x in item do play(x);
end;
2. Configurable genres. "Classical" is far too broad a genre; at least
there should be a subgenre such as Oratorios. Every other musical genre
will also have subgenres.
Ten years ago I would have taken on this project myself. Alas, I'm too old
now to be able to do it. I'm hoping that someone in the Clementine
community will be inspired to do what I am no longer able to do.
