I think `current-stream-part' is confusing because it sounds like it would contain something other than a string (a `part'). > I'm liking "song", because it's very clear what it means. > But if a stream does not have usual songs, it's not so good. > In that case, part is better. The reason I don't like `song' is that it implies singing. Here are my new suggestions: - `stream-genre' - `stream-title' - `stream-part-title' With these, we've pretty much gone full circle, but I think they actually clarify each other in this combination. :-) The similar labels for `stream-title' and `stream-part-title' puts focus on the difference and forces it to become apparent. I don't think `stream-title' is bad. We have `album-title' and `track-title', so `stream-title' is the natural choice. (If `stream-name', why not `album-name' or `track-name'?) > I looked at EMMS.

Well, EMMS isn't even consistent in spelling its own name. :-) > Song is also used in the book "Practical Common Lisp", which > includes a chapter[1] with a Shoutcast server implementation. I think I've read that chapter, a long time ago. > I know this is not that relevant, but I wanted to advocate > "song" some more. It seems a little inconsistent to use `song' to describe parts of streams, but not to describe files on disk, since they are arguably equally deserving of the label. > Also, it is a cool book! Thanks. I should read it. I want to understand Common Lisp. -- Daniel Brockman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ bongo-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bongo-devel
