New features specific to moosic (the command-line client):
- Add support for a ".moosicrc" configuration file to store default options
that would otherwise have to be set on the command-line.
- Find a way to let users specify queue ranges that start with a negative
number without requiring a '--' to separate the range argument from the
option parser. Possibilities: '[-9:-3]', '{-9:-3}', '(-9:-3)', '/-9:-3/',
'/-9:-3', '=-9:-3', ',-9:-3', '.-9:-3', ':-9:-3:'. Surrounding with slashes
seems the best, since it doesn't conflict with shell meta-characters, and
it's easy to type, and it's one of the least visually unappealing choices.
New features specific to moosicd:
====== Short term goals ======
- Implement server methods that allow remote clients to inspect (a possibly
restricted portion of) the filesystem of the computer on which the server is
running. (Possibly in a separate daemon.)
- Implement server methods that allow remote clients to change the sound
volume. (Possibly in a separate daemon.)
====== Long term goals ======
- Provide a hook for providing notification of when a song is started or
stopped.
- Devise a plugin-based system for handling individual songs. This would
require a small revision to the config file format, but the impact of this
revision could be minimized.
- Measure the current song's total length in time.
- Measure the amount of time until the current song will finish.
- Support methods for seeking within a song.
- Implement skipping to the next playlist in a list.
Web site:
- Create a page listing and thanking contributors to the project.
- Create a page with a list of related projects.
Invisible implementation details:
- Explicitly define and document the semantics of inserting the empty string
into the song queue.
Alternative clients:
- Write a GTK+ GUI client (gmoosic).
- Write a GNUstep/Cocoa GUI client (MoosicStep/MoosicX).
- A curses client (cmoosic), a PHP-based web client (php-moosic), and an
interactive command interpreter client (moosicsh) are left as exercises to
the reader (or me, if I get really bored).
- Internationalize everything.
