Hello, all. I've recently found freeamp, and am looking into doing some
work on it, and I was wondering how to proceed. What I'm looking for in an
mp3 player is primarily great flexibility in the music browser. I currently
use realjukebox pro ver. 1. The main feature I use there is it's
categorization ability. It's musicbrowser ui can build all of the following
trees:
artist/album/song (i.e. what the "My Music" tree of freeamp does)
artist/song
album/song (extremely useful when an album has tracks from different
artists)
genre/artist/song
genre/album/song
genre/artist/album/song
I intend to add similar funtionality to freeamp. I have a large music
collection (over 400 CDs), so easy categorization like this is really
important to me. Actually, I'd like to make it generic so that any tree
could be built using any fields in the metadatabase. For example, when
id3v2 support is in for the metadatabase, I can finally sort by composer (I
have a large collection of classical music). My question is what the best
way to proceed is. I've built and traced through freeamp, so I understand
how it stores the artist list information and how the ui tree is generated.
Would it be best to work on the base code? I'm sure I could extend what's
there to do what I want. Or is a plugin the way to go (I don't understand
plugins yet, but I see references to them)? Any ideas or hints?
