I agree the library backend should receive a nice stiff re-factoring to
make it more capable of meeting the new requirements. I fear this will
require a invasive patch that would require the attention of a senior
developer with good knowledge of the whole project. Dan is right though
that the whole of Mixxx would benefit.
Perhaps the first steps would be to consolidate the existing requirements
for the 8 library classes and see where there is common code, and look at
what code patterns would be suitable to meet the requirements.
