Hi Kartik Thank you for your schedule. You plan sounds quite tough, but might be doable.
Here some unsorted question: Did yo had a look to the database schema? Will it carry us through you project or does it require some refactoring? What it the workflow to create and enable jump cues? Do we need a GUI extension for this? Currently the AutoDJ loads a track at THE cue point. How will this work together with a auto detected start point? If we think ahead, we may have an AutoDJ that supports other transitions than just crossfade. Does this interfere with the new cue points?
