Google Code-in

Haiku includes a audio player application called MediaPlayer, however Haiku currently has no open source music manager or jukebox application. A music manager that takes advantage of Haiku's unique attribute system to sort and filter songs would be very powerful.

The application should be able to filter music by song, artist, album, year of release, genre, mood and user rating.

There are a few prototypes that already exist on Haiku, so your first task is to test these applications to see if any of the code is usable or if we need to start from scratch. Report back here the status of each application and what you think we should do.

For part one, we expect to see a Main application window which will have a menu option to run querries on your system to locate media files to play. This querry option should allow seraching based on selectable attributes. It should the be able to populate a list in the window (or frame in the window) showing the results. More features will be added in future tasks.

Prototypes:

• CherryBlossom
• ​MusicCollection
• FreeBird
