[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 548198, member: 76888"] Suggestions / Ideas to ponder [B]1. Store MP rating within mp3 file[/B] If you synch your music collection with another media player then that media player can share MP's ratings. If you move/copy/rename your music files, or if you reinstall mediaportal you won't loose all your MP ratings. AFAIK - There are currently two methods for writing rating into the ID3tag (WMP and itunes use different system), mediaportal should write to both. Then watch music share directory and monitor the rating(s) within the ID3tag, if the rating changes. ie previously WMP=3,iTunes=3 becomes WMP=3,iTunes=5 then MP should update rating to 5 in both tags, because obviously 5 is the new rating implemented by another media player (eg your ipod). [B]2. Better tag support for skins[/B] When browsing music, then need the following tags #selected.artist , #selected.albumartist, #selected.album, #selected.thumb This will allow full fan art support, currently you can't show the currently selected album artist fanart when you read the album sub level [B]3. Music Video integration[/B] Link an mp3 file with matching music video file. Option in Music Evolution Config to automatically play music video instead of mp3 file when track with matching video comes up in the playlist and you are currently viewing nowplaying window. When music video has played it goes back to next track in the playlist. [B]4. Better integration with My Lyrics[/B] When viewing now playing window if lyrics are available then option for lyrics to be displayed in a small section of the screen without leaving the now playing window. [B]5. Proper support for visualizations[/B] Currently fullscreen viz to music support is a bit buggy. [B]6. Fireplace mode[/B] Cool looking fireplace visualization while listening to music. PS - I don't think you should waste time on people with incorrectly tagged music and I don't think you should dilute your efforts/time but adding support for renaming tags/parsing music files/downloading missing tags, there are already a lot of programs available for users to retag their files. I think the plugin should just flag any music files with missing id3tag fields with a warning and a link to programs to correct the tags. [/QUOTE]
