Subsonic Forum

Subsonic is great and I really dont know if it'll be better with more features or not, but if it's possible to make changes, why not?

Some of my propositions for future releases:

- Rate single songs and podcasts
- Download & Save Lyrics (like Covers)
- Sort or classify music by artist/genre/whatever instead by the folder(-name)
- Super-Admins should be allowed to move or delete songs
- Automatic naming and id-tag of albums with a freedb as source
- Maybe a documentation with variables etc. to let the community make more templates (may be a security issue..)?
- Upload-to field with a drop-down menu for each 'main'-folder instead of a full path - so uploaders can chose easily the destination without misspelling
- A link on the status.jsp-page where the filename is displayed to the album
- Maybe in the future some day, more personalized music on the front-page - e.g. if someone listens always to jazz, he should see more jazz albums. Goes hand in hand with a 'better' statistic about each user - music listened to, logged in cound, time etc.

well so far, take care and hf thinking about my ideas

edit: oh web-played songs are not counted in the stats...

I second your first enhancement - in fact, I would love it if Subsonic read and modified the ID3 ratings.

Also a theme editor or at least some help in developing themes would be most welcome.

I did this with Turbo Pascal (Delphi) or was it in PHP (?) - but it wasn't as hard. I could try to find & post some code snippets which are interesting - i think the big problem was with id2-tags as they are not as good 'normed'.

Concerning the Layout - well, if there is some kind of simple documentation about variables e.G.:
VARspecChar = genre of the selected track
it would be awesome
