A total rewrite of Sound Juicer is on my to do list, but as my current
laptop doesn't have a CD drive progress has been slow. ;) One of the
goals has been to ensure that the low-level libraries don't require GTK+
at all. That said, metadata is tricky.
- CD-Text. I've yet to see a commercial CD with CD-Text support
- FreeDB: useless. The commercial servers are good (cf iTunes), but
freedb is a waste of space. [this is where I get flamed]
- Musicbrainz. Yes, libmusicbrainz is dead. However, long live
libmusicbrainz! There is a new API to the musicbrainz server which
resulted in a far saner library and I have a prototype patch to hook it
into libjuicer.
I have a plan, it just needs doing. Volunteers to help gut and
reconstruct Sound Juicer welcome. :)
