Museeks 1.0

[martpie]

Ok, let's talk about serious business now 😝

Museeks 1.0

This document is a draft, imagine the best codebase possible, all the features you'd like, best back-end/front-end implementation, everything... and let's discuss it here. I'm locking the discussion for now to avoid some pollution, and let's talk about it on specific issues/Gitter.

If the whole codebase has to change to have a nice software, I don't see any problem (Whole app IPC Q/A for example, external binaries... Everything can be discussed)

Put a +1 on the first post of any issue if you'd like to see it included.

Disclaimer

The first goal of Museeks is to focus on music, not tons add tons of heavy add-ons.

The focus of Museeks is:

• Simplicity
• Elegance
• Decent features

What we (understand "I") don't want is:

• Tons of features slowing down things that nobody uses
• Ultra-specific features you can find in your niche favorite player

Essential features

These features must be done before Museeks 1.0 is released.

• Reorderable playlists Reorderable playlists #175
• Installers Create installers #100

Great to have

Almost essential features, but not as important. They'd better be done to have a serious piece of software. They may need serious specifications though.

• Migrate to Tauri (?) Experiment with Tauri #639
• Make it possible to associate supported file types with museeks Make it possible to associate supported file types with museeks #154
• Support for playing files without adding to the library Support for playing files without adding to the library #155
• Use the Web Audio API instead of the Audio API Switch from Audio to AudioContext to play music #128
• Equalizer Equalizer #127
• Tracks transitions Gapless playback #31
• Translations Translations #137

Good to have

Would be good to have them, but they are not "absolutely" mandatory.

• FLAC support .flac support #53
• Reorderable columns in TracksList Sort columns in TracksList #62
• Better system integration on Ubuntu/Gnome Integrate mpris #93
• Last.fm scrobbling last.fm integration #231

Bonus

The development will not be focused on theses issues, and/or these issues need discussions first, but they remain good ideas.

• Editable id3 Edit id3 tracks metadata #101
• Smart playlist Smart Playlist #214
• m3u support m3u support for playlists (load/save) #146
• External stream support Stream support #217
• Minimizable windows to tray System Tray Icon #219

To be discussed

• ...

2.0 ?

• Packages/Plugins system Package system discussion #260

I'd like to discuss some UI polish, I think current UI does it's job, but I kinda miss some space.
So, request from me:

• Update UI to make it more modern and spacious. /cc @Suriteka - ideas?

Reorderable columns in TracksList #62

Does that includes the ability to sort by clicking on them? If not, we should add it.

Use the Web Audio API instead of the Audio API #128

I think this is needed for 1.0. Doing this change in 1.x can be risky. Also, it is kind of prerequisite for #114, in which I'm personally really interested.

Better system integration on Ubuntu/Gnome #93

Kind of stalled on work needed to be done in mpris-service module. /cc @emersion ?
I doubt we want to interact with dbus directly.
But we can at least add Tray icon.

Installers #100

I thought this is for 0.8, but yeah, that would help people to get up and running anyway, I'm all in.

(sorry about poking in closed thread.)
