Rockbox mail archiveSubject: ID3 database browsingID3 database browsing
From: Linus Nielsen Feltzing <linus_at_haxx.se>
Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 09:56:01 +0200 The subject has been brought up countless times, but so far we haven't reached a really good solution. We have had a few suggestions, the latest one is the ID3 browser patch #1001358 "Feature: browse directories using id3 tags" (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1001358). I really want an ID3 database in Rockbox, but we need to find a decent solution that doesn't slow down the browser too much, eat up all RAM, or drain the batteries due to extensive disk access. A couple of questions come to mind: 1) What do we want in the ID3 browser? I mean, which fields do we support? How do we want to search? 2) How to design the database to allow for fast searching/browsing with as little memory usage as possible? We can waste quite a lot of disk space, but not that much RAM. 3) How to synchronize/generate the database? Comments?
