Coding

I am not currently using Muine as a music player, and as such am not actively working on plugins.

One of the most often argued features people wanted/didn't want in Muine is a music tagger. People argue that a program that displays and organizes music based on metadata should be able to edit it. Conversely, people argue, "One task, one program." I personally wanted a tagger, so I've tried to make a tagger that integrates with Muine like none other, as to justify it's existence to both parties and make it as useful as can be. This resulted in a music tagger based almost entirely on drag-and-drop that preserves the concept of Songs and Albums. It is also the only tagger I know that supports every field Muine does (Performers, Disc Number, Total Tracks) and also obliges to the Ruffle plugin with Genre and Mood support. Overall, I'm proud of this one.

• Muine 8.3.99 (CVS)
