Hey Dan,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I agree with your use cases. I don't want
us to get too attached to the autodj concept though - while it does work to
provide a queue to be analysed the process is much slower as the auto dj
will play most of the track - my comments were more to highlight the
process by which the feature works. I frequently find myself while mixing I
notice a track that needs analysis - then have to stop what I'm doing and
head over to Analyser view, search for the file, and then start the
Analysis. The other approach is when I know I wont be using my laptop - say
overnight - i've tried to queue up a load of tracks - this as I mentioned
results in frozen laptop unless its only a short queue - or I only leave it
for an hour or so.
1. Store the queue in the database - and present the queue when viewing the
Analyser library view. When the Analyser is active it simply works through
the queue. Once tracks are complete, they are removed from the queue.
2. Allow user to add to the Analyser queue from the library right click.
I've not looked through the code, but it doesn't sound like too much of a
big change.
The Analyser already uses some kind of queue, but I suspect that its
volatile - when you press "Stop" the queue is deleted.
Its certainly not a feature that everyone would need regularly though -
once I've finished fixing my library I wont need that feature until I add
new tracks to the library.
