[mythtv-users] Ideas for MythMusic rewrite

One thing that I would like to see is a shift from play lists to tags.
For example, I would like to have tagged some songs as "Christmas" and
some of those would also be tagged "Comedy."  Then I could tell it to
play Christmas music, but exclude Comedy songs.

Some tags could be automatically generated based on the ID3 information.
Options to add tags based on certain directories should also be
available (though through which interfaces is not clear).

When playing a song, we should have the ability to view and adjust tags.

Traditional play lists could be implemented using tags--just tag songs
for each play list that they're in.

Tags would be saved in the Myth database, but could possibly be added as
tags to the sound files (preferably in a way that allows for the
reconstruction of the database with the tags if it were to be wiped).
