User Ideas

Developers never, ever, ever look at this page. This is ranting grounds. If you don't have enough energy to sign up for a proper feature request, then why should any developer have enough energy to grant one?

  • make it possible to connect to a specific port within Jack on startup (e.g. an equalizer or mixer application)
  • Album Covers - plans for how MPD should support fetching/storing/displaying album covers.
  • Queue - plan for how MPD should/would/might implement queuing
  • Add cue sheet (.cue) support (with FLAC+WV embedded cue support, see patch)
  • Rotation and scheduled Playlists for Internet Radio (compare http://www.centova.com/docs/cast/centovacast_user_guide.php)
  • Executable Songs - plans to make it possible to add scripts to the database and let them play like a normal track.
  • dynamic playlists that allow pre-selection of certain criteria such as genre, rating, randomization, limiting of the playlist length and so on:
    • examples: 60 minutes of random music of genres "Pop" and "Rock", your favourite 100 songs or serious music, i.e. everything excepting your huge collection of B. Spears :)
    • see here and here for some ideas
    • I think that this should be implemented in MPD and not in clients, so it needs only be done once and properly
  • Simple way to keep MPD from resuming playback on boot. (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpd#Never_play_on_start)
  • handling more audio-outputs at once, playing different music/audio on every output
  • allow the user/client to set tags (flags) and be able to order by them.
  • give MPD the optional ability to play a single file from some location on the filesystem outside of the music database.
  • support and input plugins for .SID, .AHX, and hivelytracker filetypes.
  • support and input plugin for UADE
  • support .pls-playlists (or others) so it's possible to use playlists of radio-streams with titles
  • support for metadata such as tracking play count, ratings for tracks
  • music-based representation instead of file-based, ie. if there's the same album in FLAC and MP3 it's only shown once
  • MPD should auto-discover pulseaudio output/sinks
  • identify multiple concatenated vorbis tracks within an OGG and present as an album of tracks. (similar to cue-sheet support? alternatively, can cue sheets be embedded in OGG (or vorbis metadata?), and is there any precedent for that?
  • Support for Microsoft Windows
  • Make it possible to pause playing, when httpd is the only enabled output device type and no client is connected to the stream.
  • give MPD the optional ability to remove blank at end of tracks (without crossfade)
  • No password for localhost connects, when password set otherwise
  • Option to stop playback after the current track has finished
  • Have mpd call a callback script when a particular even happens (e.g On next track, on pause, on stop)
  • Queue some songs in MPD current playlist which would play one song after another
  • Echo Nest Client to generate playlists http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/playlist.html
  • setting cue points in Id3 tags for fade in and fade out markers (radio style mixes)
  • automatic beatmatching and timestretching (probably taken from mixxx)
  • auto-level based on compressor/limiter (not just replay gain)
  • text to speech plugin to "play" and pipe textes (such as announcing tracks etc.)
