Assuming LMS will be developed further and doesnt move into a minimal
maintenance phase I suspect both will eventually break. If nothing else
breaks them a new Perl version is probably going to do it at some point.
I would be surprised if the streaming service integration in 8.0 doesnt
already cause some issues. A likely scenario is that they will degrade
slowly by not including/working with new great features added to LMS
core. There is no way to say which one is going to break first.
My feeling is still that a Classical Music plugin would make sense. By
focusing on classical music you can define the logic in the plugin
instead of forcing each user to configure their own set of tags/menus.
It will also be a lot easier to maintain since you know the logic
instead of having to understand all different configuration variations.
I suspect its unlikely that Michael is going to do something like this
in the core as its a lot of work and it doesnt match the
database/browsing principles of other parts of LMS. So, I think the next
step is to wait and see if any developer picks up this discussion and
tries to accomplish something. Hopefully someone has done something
before my plugins stop working. Not sure its worth to continue this
discussion any further as its off topic of the thread and we dont know
if anyone have an interest to try to do something. If anyone wants to
continue the discussion it probably makes sense to start a new thread so
its more likely to attract developers interested to do something.
