Yeah, that could be easily done with a separate Django application within the same project. And Ejal: thanks for the Jinzora suggestion, they already have that implemented, too bad I don’t like their data model. Their interface is nice though, and I’m not too big on that myself, so I might borrow some code there.

Store your data on the server, playlists and all, and play with a client.

You might be able to take design and coding parts from the open source Jinzora project. (http://en.jinzora.com)

I used it several years ago and believe it has significantly improved since then. Most of the requirements you state are already filled by the last version.

Hi,
Exactly anything you mentioned makes so much of a perfect sense. Anything! This would result in such a perfect freaky music desk…

I really hope, that amarok and i.e. sunbird guys read this. The Label sort, the hierarchy network thing, the multiple style tags thing… soooo nice!
And it’s not really so hard to implement: nothing more than a bit more digging into the database backend and enabling some more widgets to let the user use those new database parts.
Of course it means work, but technically it is not hard. The most challenging part will be to create a good UI for it.

BTW: I think that the cross reference thing Oliver mentioned is also a good idea. But: I fear it will get a bit out of hand, especially when it comes (again) to design a UI for it

Anyway very good suggestions,
regards,
Herr Irrtum, Italy

Ok but you need a mega awesome cross-reference search machine in there.

Thinking, say I listen to Song X by Y on album Z. Now, Maybe I wanna know all albums that also have Song X on it. Or what about movies, which movie also used song X in it’s score

Same goes for Y, what other songs did Y do that I have.
Speaking of, maybe I wanna know not just the songs that I have, but possibly songs that aren’t in my db … so many idea’s.

And then I’d want to have it work as a icecast source so i can stream it whever I am

“Microsoft will be releasing ODF-writing functionality for their Office Suite pretty soon, by the way.

Tsk. I’ll believe that when I see it. One of the MS corporate strategies is footdragging to keep leveraging its monopoly [1]

“But how compliant they will actually be remains to be seen. History is not on their side…”

Yup, history shows MS avoided compliance by consistently deceitful and often illegal behaviour.[1]

Jasper and I had a good time and it was worth being at the Red Hat partner summit. I can recommend it to everyone. I hope to attend next year as well.

It looks like InstallFree is Windows-only. The site doesn’t mention anything about running on Linux or being open source.

I have to say it sounds like you are not only having a good time over there but it is a very worth while event too.

Maybe I will be able to make it next year, hope LinuxTag is this useful!
