I've mentioned a lot of this before but I'll repeat it for posterity seeing as there now appears to be some impetus from users wanting more from their interaction:
- A documented API for plugin developers - Ability to add additional fields to underlying database during scan time and to expose these fields in the interface much like one can browse Genre, Year etc. at present - Ability to generate Dynamic playlists using whatever fields and associated values a user chooses - Support for track ratings - Integration of MusicIP technologies into SBR - there's an SDK available for both thin and fat clients MyDJ Embedded and MyDJ Desktop - If MusicIP's considered too risky, then integrate Allmusic's Tapestry, or better yet, do both. Again, it's geared specifically to playlisting across one's collection. - Checkout http://tapestry.allmusic.com/ - go create a playlist for yourself and see just how damned good it is. - Integrate Allmusic's LASSO Media Recognition as as an opt-in subsription service. Bascially what you'd get is automated media recognition and tagging of audio, inluding existing FLACs, MP3s etc. Some facts http://www.rovicorp.com/products/online_stores_portals/insight_osp/lasso.htm?link_id=rightnav - Official integration of the Biography and AlbumReview plugins/capability into SBS via licensed Rovi API to enable reliable view of Artist Biographies and Album Reviews whilst listening, as well as the ability to navigate hyperlinks to related artists/ albums that are in your collection and optionally the allmusic website. Being able to interact with your music library in this way would be fantastic and listening sessions could easily become an enlightening adventure. - When playing something in your collection, a "you might also want to play" window/tab showing similar artists/albums in your collection - Party mode - yes, people do want to use their SBx's when hosting parties, and no, we don't want our playlists wiped at the touch of a button.
