* Tag tracks with arbatrary strings * Assign tracks a score from half a star to 5 stars with 0.5 star increments View: * Hierarchal view of artist/album/track, with the levels being customizable (could put genre in, etc. or could just use the filesystem layout) * Ability to view library in a left pane and a playlist in the right pane and drag over tracks * Ability to have playlists that combine tracks from the library, random files on the computer, and files on a media player, with an icon next to the track showing what it is from Idea 1: Left pane like exaile with hierarchial library view Right pane defaults to "Now Playing" or something like that which shows all the albums with album covers in a cool way when an artist is selected in the library view Right pane has tabs and there could be playlists in various tabs Idea 2: Right pane could show playlists, and could have various views, one of them shows just the list of tracks, another shows an album cover view Idea 3: Looks like banshee with 3 vertical panes Idea 4: Looks kind of like songbird with 2 vertical panes, left one has various sources and things and right one has tabs. Tabs can have either lists of songs associated with a source on the left that was double clicked, or a website. Toolbar buttons or View menu options open a third pane in the middle which can show either a hierarcal view of the library, or the filesystem, or maybe a dual artist/album pane view like banshee does. Playlists can contain tracks from any source, or from the filesystem and not in the library, or from a media device, etc and is represented with an icon in the playlist. ----------------- Naming ideas: * Regale * Euphony ------------------------------------------------ Regale Media Player Regale PlayerWindow : Gtk::Window
