Ok peeps, so I did a bit of refactoring tonight, so now the filters
are checkboxes rather than radio buttons - the advantage is that you
can filter for both genre and bpm - and it works brilliantly. Also
thanks to Daniels great suggestion I've hooked it up to the
currentPlayingDeckChanged so its really nice when you're in the mix
and bring the cross fader across only to be presented with a whole
load of suitable tracks. Makes djing your way through  a big library
fun and easy - and helps to pull out some forgotten gems too.

I know adding "Key" and "Year" will be great additions to the filters.
The only other idea I have is to add a slider to the bpm to give it
some range (+/-) - that would be kinda fun, but I don't know how to do
that just yet.

However I've ended up with some pretty damn smelly code to create the
sql, and not being a native C++'er this is the best I could come up
with.

    QString filterText = "";
    QString filterTextA = (m_bFilterGenre) ? m_pFilterGenre : "";
    QString filterTextB = (m_bFilterBpm) ? m_pFilterBpm : "";
    QString filterJoin = (filterTextA != NULL && filterTextB != NULL)
? " AND " : "";
    filterText = filterTextA + filterJoin + filterTextB;

Problem is, as soon as I add some more filters - my next being "Year"
it gets unmanageable. So how do I write code like this in C++?

In ruby, I could put them all in an array and use the join method.

cheers
Keith
