Hi,

Just wondered if anyone was working on improvements
for MythMusic; here's a list of things that spring
to
mind:

1. IPOD support, and for other portable devices
(USB)


Having just set up my iPod to work with linux yesterday evening. I started thinking about integration Mythtv. My current thinking is that the best way to do this is to build some scripts around gnupod (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/gnupod.html) to deal with the itunes database, it also has the capability to convert from ogg to mp3 format. So initially I just plan to get some scripts working that will sync the tunes and playlists listed in mythmusic.

My plan will then be to add a frontend plugin, however as a sync may take a long time, especially if we are converting to mp3's the actal sync will run in the background and so the frontend will just be a means of checking the current status and mounting/unmounting the ipod.

It will also need a method of dealing with situations where the iPod doesn't have enough capacity to store all of the music - I've not run into this situation yet, however the most likely solution will be to use a playlist to manage this.

It would also be good to sync the rating, and playcount data.

Any other thoughs? Anybody else doing this yet?

Cheers
Chris
