Rhythmbox as well as most other music players/libraries has its own
made-up playlist storage format . That means No portability , and no
simple synchronization solutions .That's why I'm trying to use JuK right
now - it's the only linux music player that keeps the playlists on the
disk (but it's kind of unmaintained, so prospects there are limited).
So I have a proposal and I'm willing to start coding for it , but I
have to know the idea is accepted first . So far my impression is that
GNOME devs have no interest in 'people' , at least on the mailing lists
. So a side question is - where do development discussions actually
happen ? With that thought in mind please take a position on the topic .
Here's the idea :
Playlists would get picked up automatically from the music library
(indexed as entries in the db) . On startup they get loaded in the
playlists pane , and on modifications they get instantly saved .
Automated playlists are not affected by that arrangement (they can
remain in the xml they are in now).
Pros to the current situation:
+ easy synchronization between computers using any sync solution
+ persistence of playlists on full wipe/reinstall of rhythmbox
I can't think of any cons .
