Hi JP,
I am happy, that you will pick up that job, Thank you!
Mixxx is somehow extensible by library features.
We currently support Traktor, iTunes and Rhysmbox library by temporary
import their library’s to Tables in the Mixxx library.
This approach will have some performance Issues but once import is finished
it works well.
I have started to do the support for Banshee and iPod with a more native
approach.
You can watch the results in my branch:
lp:~daschuer/mixxx/daschuers_trunk<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Edaschuer/mixxx/daschuers_trunk>
Build it with: scons ipod=1
I think a good starting point is simply to copy and rename
mixxx/src/library/ipod/
Since Mixxx is based on Qt, it is worth to look at mpd implementations by
other Qt clients.
Maybe it could save you from a lot of work!

Currently Max Linke max_li...@gmx.de is working on many library
improvements in his GSoC project.
He is on the list too. So I think its a good idea to post your final
concept here.
So we can look if there are possible conflicts.
But until now I don't see any?
So happy coding ;-)
Kind regards,
Daniel
