Date: 20 Jun 2002 11:07:47 +0200 Hi, I was reading "firmware/test/wavey/README.playlists", about playlist-handling and arrays in memory. I would like a (optinal) UI that works (more) like the iPod, where a song is sorted based on its id3-tag rather than its place on disk. I don't know how they handle it, but I imagine they build some kind of database that holds all the songs on disk, and indexes them with the tags. That way, it would be much easier for the user to just drop a collection of songs on it, and hopefully as easy to find them. The Archos would just display a screen with "Artists" "Albums" "Playlists" "Genres" etc. This could be used in conjunction with the suggestion of using an in-memory array to keep track of the tracks (no pun intended) in a playlist. However, we would need some kind of program to index the tracks on the Archos. I just wanted to check if this is what people feel like a good solution, or am I way off base here?
