I've often heard users and even team members say they don't use the music feature in XBMC that much due to lack of functionality.
So I thought I would write down some "nice to haves" for the music section:
One day, maybe a developer would pick some of these up:
- Top 10 charts from countries (see https://rss.itunes.apple.com/us) example https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topalbum...t=true/xml
- Top 5 tunes by each artist (see theaudiodb.com API) example http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/1/...2ba2e14234
- Last.fm charts for trending music (see Last.fm API)
- Integrated scraper Music Artist Banners
- Integrated scraper Music Artist Logos
- Improvements in Various Artists sorting (separate button on music menu, not shown in full artist list)
- Improvements in single track sorting (separate button on music menu, not shown in full artist list)
- Support for DJ sets
- Support for album grouping (Such as for a specific festival, maybe use smart playlists)
- Support to show next Live performance (see songkick.com API) example http://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/artists/...ur_api_key}
- Support Genre and Sub Genre grouping
- More music Visualizations
- Filter tracks by how many stars you rated them. Example, only show tracks that have a 4+ star rating
- Import "mood" and "Style/Sub Genre" so they can be filtered as a single text field
- New Bootleg/Live performance category option to show/not show
- Support for Music Decades filtering
- Music database Node support *Done*
Feel free to add any more, of reply if some of these features are already possible..
