I believe for most algorithms that really make sense I would need some server side or at least iPeng (normal) side support because even tracking what's going on on other iPeng Party devices will be hard.
First: a list of stuff that sounds doable, some of this is stuff I did already somewhat plan for: * more info on the current track - will come * better visualization for current track - will come * different play time info - time to track and time since track played, for example - will probably come * make tracks you added yourself removable - hard and kind of spoils the "hand the device around" model but then this is not the idea.... so: will come if it turns out doable * vote tracks up that get voted on more than once. Probably with some algorithms like "more voting power if voted for on different devices" and "no additional votes for xxx seconds" - Same limitation as the last one, otherwise probably something that will come * dupe detection and avoidance - same as last one * Vote current track down - planned anyway. * define additional exclude menus in iPeng similar to the party mode setting - planned * move iPeng Party settings to a different submenu * timeout after each added track until another one can be selected. Another thing I believe could be doable is to define (through iPeng) a maximum "play ahead" number of tracks in the playlist. If the number of pending tracks exceeds this threshold, some random track gets removed from the list with, say, a 50% chance and maybe a prompt to the extent of "do you really want to remove xxx, upcoming in yyy seconds to add yyy". For the fun of it it would also be nice to see which device added/removed a track so you could notify others "hey, xxx just removed this track!" or "xxx just added this track", will think about it. What would be better is a straight voting system but I doubt this is feasible without server support. Now I have to remember adding tickets for all of this before I forget it....
