Comment 7 for bug 1326653

Hi Daniel,

I tried to mobilize some resources here but with little luck. I do not have
any experience with QT so I would need a lot of help. If you could help me
it would be great! The project is available at http://www.beam-project.com

We are currently in the process of moving the repository from google-code
as they are closing down, so use the binary releases if you want to try it
out.

The obvious information we would need is "Current song" which is playing to
the public (not headphones). If there is any intuitive way of predicting
the next track that will be played (or if it is used in playlist-mode) this
would be very useful as well. This is of course complementary information
that requires the user to use Mixxx in a specific, predefined way.

The information that our application will access is the following from each
song:

Artist
AlbumArtist
Album
Title
Genre
Year
Performer
Comment
Composer
fileURL

We then structure the information as following:
 CURRENTSONG PREVIOUSSONG NEXTSONG NEXTTANDA%Artist %PreviousArtist
 %NextArtist %NextTandaArtist%AlbumArtist %PreviousAlbumArtist
 %NextAlbumArtist %NextTandaAlbumArtist%Album %PreviousAlbum %NextAlbum
 %NextTandaAlbum%Title %PreviousTitle %NextTitle %NextTandaTitle%Genre
 %PreviousGenre %NextGenre %NextTandaGenre%Comment %PreviousComment
 %NextComment %NextTandaComment%Composer %PreviousComposer %NextComposer
 %NextTandaComposer%Performer %PreviousPerformer %NextPerformer
 %NextTandaPerformer%Year %PreviousYear %NextYear %NextTandaYear%Singer
 %PreviousSinger %NextSinger %NextTandaSinger%IsCortina %PreviousIsCortina
 %NextIsCortina

Previous song is saved in the application, This is not live-information.
Current song is obviously current. Next song is read from the playlist.
Next tanda is a "tango specific" expression where we locate the next
"section" of songs based on some rules.

Hope this helps you understand our intention. We are absolutely willing to
adopt Beam to be more general, for this we would need some use-cases.

Best Regards
Mikael
