I'm in the process of testing if mpd would suit my
needs better than rhythmbox. Pymp'd really made the
transition very easy. There's just one thing I really
miss: handling playing like on Rhythmbox.
Instead of having to create a playlist, the user could
just select an artist or an album or a bunch of them
and pymp'd would play the files visible in the
"#|Title|Artist|Album"-view.
This would be very cool for quick "I wanna listen to
artist X now" kind of actions or quickly composing a
bunch of artists to listen to.
Playlist support would still exist. The user could
create playlists and then go to the "Now Playing"-part.
One problem is which ones to play if the user has songs
in the "Now Playing"-part and is browsing in the
"Database" view. The first solution that comes to my
mind is to treat the "Now Playing" part as a higher
priority (e.g. if there are songs there play them
instead of the selected ones in the DB-view).
Otherwise pymp'd rocks! Keep up the excellent work!
