Yes, but the question is: can we has playlists and browse mode?
I need to take a break from the library stuff to think about how to
properly reimplement these. Browse mode is definitely going to work a
bit differently, by nature of doing it the right way and not
bastardizing the track table again. It's going to end up something
like there's an expandable directory tree as one of the items in the
pane on the left, and when you select a directory that's got MP3s/OGGs/
music in it, they will appear in the track table to the right. The key
point here being that the track table will only display _tracks_, not
directories, etc.
There will probably end up being a similar expandable item for
playlists, so the pane on the left might end up looking like:
Library
+Playlists
- ghetto beats
- my secret britney spears collection
- etc
+Browse
+ C:
+ Program Files
+ Other Folders
+ Blah
+ D:
If anyone sees any obvious (or not so obvious) problems with this,
please let me know. Also, feel free to share any suggestions for the
new library. :)
Thanks,
Albert
