Dear List,


First, i think i should thanks all the contributors of MPD.
Thank you guys,  you guys are great, made a really great player!


Recently, from my work experiences, i had an idea that is i want to build a
special player upon MPD(or maybe a control interface at least) which was
targeted for a radio programme playback.
And which also has some special needs of the player, and after i digging
around MPD for a while, i still don't had clues to figure that out.


So, my question is:
Is it possible to do the following thing from the current *API/protocol of
MPD provided*?

1)   Get the 'About to finish' signal or sth. similar before the actual
'player' idle signal;   *# Which is useful if you want do some extra
control/actions/check ups before the next one being played;*

2)   Set one or more songs to be played at a pre-defined fixed time
exactly;   *# Which is useful for radio programme, you know something
should be played at a specific time, like news update;*

3)   Play couple of songs continuously then stop at some pre-defined
position, waiting for DJ's break. Which requires you can define the
playback logic in advance, not by switch the mode to 'single' before the
stop point manually;

4)   Clear/Eject the current playlist and load a brand new playlist while
the dates changed from one day to another at a regular point, like
2012-05-19 23:59:59 ----->  2012-05-20 00:00:00.


I know it is to much radio-specific, but i still wondering:
Is there any method or workaround to achieve these feature requests?
Someone please point me out.


Thanks in advance.


Ooh, FYI, i had some basic python skills and i can write a bit python code
to control mpd for now.
