We are actually adding it to the maemo extras repos to make it easier.

In the future the plan is to integrate most of the things (everythiung except the download of covers which is a legal issue)

About python, Canola2 uses python in almost all it's code. So the whole application is python (almost hheeh) the LMS scanner is in C because it needs to be really fast... as the drawing routines (EFL 16 bits) are also in C. The rest is pure python + EDJE (EFL UI scripting language)

Hi krbvroc1 ,

Actually you need the add to playlist then (I think we will "suffice" your need.. but the problem was not the dev team, and there's a little bit of difference of "simple" to fast to do.

But here comes the thing: if you ask me, it's was not developers fault. It was more design issue (myself on blame). Why? Because, instead of just going there and doing something like crazy (to be fast we need to do that sometimes) I really wanted to have time to do it the best way, not only to solve Add to playlist problems, but also prevent canola of becoming a bloat of features in what was mean to be a simple UI.

Adding the playlist support, ask for the "edit" mode. So instead of adding one more button in all the list users browser daily we will do a "Edit" mode, where you can create a new playlist, and browse your songs to add items to it.

But It does take time to do the right way, to provide the same feature for third party developers, and in the end... it was more about "Is anybody free to do that?" .. and we were fixing dbus bindings bugs, music playback volume oddities, scanner not finding formats, etc etc.

I can easily go for my team buddies and say that the architecture does support it quite easily, but it takes time to design a integrated solution, that doesn't interfere with other things. and we are lacking times for the basics :/

But, don't worry if it's on the list will be done before we hit the "final" what we call "no beta" release. (march)

: Believe there's a lot of people that don't use the "Enqueue".
