I’m building an office music player on top of MPD. I need to be able to store extra metadata with each song: * Last played * Last skipped * Play count * Rating, per user * Possibly an array of genres
Viable options, in decreasing order of desirability 1. MPD provides a mechanism to directly associate custom metadata with each song, persisted across reboots and updates. 2. MPD provides me with a unique ID for each song, robust across file system reorganizations and ID3 changes, and I create my own mirror database of metadata. 3. I use something like Echoprint to uniquely identify songs, and I create my own mirror database of metadata. 4. MPD provides me with the file for the song as the unique identifier, I create my own mirror database of metadata, and I lose information if a song moves on disk. #3/4 seem to be my only options. Am I correct? Is there any way to associate metadata with songs in mpd? _______________________________________________ mpd-devel mailing list mpd-devel@musicpd.org http://mailman.blarg.de/listinfo/mpd-devel
