[Bluemusic-users] Media Manager

[steven yi <ste...@cs...>]

Hi All,

Just wondering what you all thought about a media manager within blue. I 
was thinking of using SQLite or some other embeddable database and 
allowing to add files and tag them, audition them, analyze them, etc.

 From there, I'm not sure the best ways to use that in blue.  Perhaps 
for auto-creating ftable strings, an "insert file from media manager" 
item, etc.

Also, what does everyone think about the Instrument Library/Arrangement 
system?  Would it be confusing if there was also a system-dependent 
local Instrument Library that you could access from any project file? 
Or would it be better to remove the project instrument library and only 
use a system-library?

Any comments on this would be very much appreciated!

p.s. - Since I'm getting a better idea of drag and drop, it seems like 
it'd be nice to be able to drag an audio file from the file explorer 
onto the score timeline and have an AudioFile soundObject added 
automatically with settings.  If so, should it default to one-shot or 
looping?  (Looking to implement the AudioFile settings requested earlier 
next)
