This came up in a thread on storage of physical CDs when someone suggested putting in RFID tags in the CD and using a reader to automatically start playing songs on their SqueezeBox. I thought about this and it would seem to be possible already using barcodes on Android.
So a feature request is, is to have the ability to read the barcode of a physical CD using the barcode app and then lookup the artist\album name and then pysically play the album. I'm pretty sure the musicbrainz database has barcodes of CDs stored so you could use their API to get CD names from barcodes. Then a search on the Squeezebox Server should find the CD and presto! The idea is that I'm flipping through my physical CDs, see something I like and then scan the code to start it playing on my SB3. Obviously not a top priority item but innovative :) -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
