Yep, we use sqlite more or less as a key-value-source store, which is a horrible way of treating a SQL-database. This is fixed in the upcoming merge of S4/Collections 2.0 where we have our own crazy fast database storage specifically written to work with triplets. > Ratings: I saw an example of adding a rating in the following way: > xmms2 mlib setstr 17920 rating bearcat 4 > > I can't find an equivalent way of doing that with nyxmms2.

Check the bug tracker, if there's no mention of that, then file a bug, and if you're up to it, propose a patch. > Graphical Clients: About the only thing that i prefer mpd over xmms2 > for is that the clients for mpd seem more varied than xmms2.

There is a bridge for mpd at github, and some at git.xmms.se .. they might be missing some functionality, but maybe that can be fixed. This allows you to use mpd-clients. > Looking over this: http://xmms2.org/wiki/Generic_properties_policy , are > there any graphical clients that use the tags and the album art as > presented there? Abraca for example has support for rating and cover art. -- Daniel Svensson -- _______________________________________________ Xmms2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xmms.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmms2-devel
