#44 Better mp3 player/browser
While slimserver is a fine example of a mp3
player/browser... it's woefully lacking when you try to
access a really large mp3 collection... say 20,000 or
more. It becomes cumbersome and quite lacking...
What feature I request is, how about some better, like
perhaps GNUMP3D? While GNUMP3D is written in perl and
quite feature loaded... I can't imagine why it couldn;t
be written in C and stripped down to a much leaner
feature set. It's a much simpler player than
slimserver, but highly useable none the less.

Hi Jerry,
I don't know if you are still monitoring this tracker ticket.
A few thoughts: I haven't see anyone pick up on this, SqueezeCenter (aka SlimServer) does just about everything I want, and, currently, there is little room for new features in the mvpmc project (i.e. the target's memory is almost full).
There is a plug in effort (only loads the application currently running) under way. However, I think that will probably be implemented on a different media extender box (the NMT box) first.
I do have some questions: Is GNUMP3D a server which supports "thin" clients? If not, and you were thinking of running GNUMP3D on the mvpmc box, I can honestly say I doubt you will find there are enough resources to handle the amount of data let alone the application.
With all that background information, if you want to code up this feature (start translating it from PERL to C) I might be able to help out if you have any questions.
