Songbird Integration

[PsychedEric]

A little introduction :
"Play music. Play the Web.

Songbird is a desktop media player mashed-up with the Web. Songbird is
committed to playing the music you want, from the sites you want, on
the devices you want, challenging the conventions of discovery,
purchase, consumption and organization of music on the Internet.

Songbird is a player and a platform. Like Firefox, Songbird is an open
source, Open Web project built on the Mozilla platform.
" from http://www.songbirdnest.com/

The thing is that your library in songbird, is made of the music on
your harddisk and ...
the music from the web, ( webpages, weblog, pages ) you searched or
visited by the mean of SongBird.

It is Really well designed, isn't it ?
And I wish it will grow up like FireFox.

With the integration of Mirage though an easy to build extension, will
gave this Brand new Tool, some more interesting ideas, compared to
other basic Media Player including library.

And to finish with, I thank you for your work on Mirage.

Regards.

I Mean do you think it's possible to port mirage to other "media
player".

For instance, Songbird ( based on XUL, a technology from Mozilla /
Firefox ).

I think I could help if there is a need.

Mirage is made of 3 main parts (Dominik will correct me if I'm wrong) :

1. libmirageaudio, a C library that handles the interaction with
gstreamer to do the audio transformation stuff

2. Mirage, a C# library that handles the similarity calculations

3. Banshee.Mirage, a C# library that is an extension for banshee

So you could take parts 1 and 2, and write the equivalent of part 3 for
another media player. Of course I'm happily ignoring all the
implementation issues, like linking all of this together...

But that's my basic advice, based on my basic knowledge of Mirage... ;)

Anyway, banshee is my only music player, so I'm happy the way Mirage is
now. ;)

Cheers,
