RE: Some thoughts on xplmedianet and how to implement

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mal,

Ok, I understand now

I was making the assumption of 1 genre per artist/album

As the database is being slightly restructured anyway, I'll be able to add
a
genre xref to artists/albums without too much trouble.

To simplify how stuff is handled I'll probably replace 'Genres' with 'Genre
Artist', 'Genre Album' and 'Genre Track'.

With regards to not using the database, that's correct - all modules are
optional.

Though as things stand you'd need a 'directory browse' source module.

Though in this mode obviously no selections other than browsing would be
available (though you can use both!)

I may well produce such a module, and remove the current xplrionet browse
that actually uses the database.

I guess we can add an extra item to the xpl-cmnd schema for your web
interface:

File=c:\an artist\an album\a track.mp3 to queue a track by filename (though
how do we handle the 128byte limit on the path/filename length?)

Regards
Tony
