What My Plan Is
During Beta stage, before I can declare a Release Candidate i must have these things done:
- done
pref to turn off ability to mod meta data (just un-hide the pref) - done
if LAME is not installed, you can still pick it, crash - done
ability to search for a quoted string like ", the" - XP: if you did not install the IMAPI, then ripping gives you -43 error rather than "Please install IMAPI"
- performance optimizations for windows
- include C++ runtimes with installer
- all priority "4" bugs fixed, all "3" fixed / deferred / or set to "2"
Headline 2.0 features (no promises)
- SQL database with fast search
- scripting with Python (both mac and windows)
- crossfading
- "filler music" playlist with auto-crossfade
- creamy smooth HD Video support
- N songs per singer per rotation, saved per venue
- Search Paths pref panel. Allows you to easily move your entire library without using symbolic links.
- Ability to rip or play DVD, SVCDs
- option to consolidate or move library
- import playlists
After "1.0" release

- uber progress bar on ripping from CD, NEO+G, SuperCDG, BIN/CUE
- uber progress on burn setup (so you can cancel it)
- move activities to browser window, or "arrange / gather windows"

- 2nd video window can always show rotation
- call exchangefiles on the app during auto update
- an on-screen indicator of current global slip, as well as pitch shift and tempo change
- maybe: mark any playlist as "can be seen via server", new "get list of playlists" (include Rotation), include "last time sung"
- more "rotation" smarts
- crossfading
ability to rip VCDsdone!- ability to zip all songs in library that are not already zipped.
- re-canonicalize the names (up folders) "Keep Library Folder Organized"

Pokers In the Fire
This stuff is also "After 1.0"
- "smooth as glass" quicktime playback, using QTKit (this will enable full 30fps playback even with both video windows open and set to maximumm size)
- ability to QT Export any file type (midi, kar, mpeg)
- auto update the Map whenever someone makes a purchase (parse purchase info, geocode for lat/lon, add to address book, update map data, upload map data). Update: I have written a nice applescript that can parse my email and extract a new address book entry, including geocoded lat/lon info. Neat!
- FINALLY done! Wow this saves me like an hour each time i make a new release!
auto-publish when I build a new version and invoke a script (export new vers.html file, zip lite and pro, upload lite and pro, upload vers file). Update: I now have all the parts I need for the workflow, just have to sew it all together now - full CDPedia support
- 80% done: ability to cue two songs for cross fade (same as: ability to export QuickTime (or iPod) at the same time as playing some other song)
- Allow a 'placeholder' track to be input into a singer's "Tonight" list, that includes the disc name and track number, and when it comes up, the dialog comes up, says "stick in the disc", to let it play direct from disc, automatically picking the right track. Alternately, allow KJ to drag a track from a CD into a playlist. then, eject disc. when that song is coming up next, put up a dialog that says "please stick that disc back in" and it'll go play it from disc, Alternately, rip the song when it gets drug from the CD into the singer's "Tonight"
