What Do I Want To Listen To

A simple, tag-based music library manager.

This project is born out of a frustration I had managing my music library. I have found playlists, genres, and other ways of organizing my music too restrictive and cumbersome to keep up with. Here are the main features I want out of music player, in order of priority:

• Song tagging.
• Playlists.
• Bookmarks (temporary song tag marking location in a playlist/album)
• Read meta-data from ID3.
• Web-based interface.
• Mobile interface (could implement the Subsonic API on the back-end to be able to use pre-made mobile apps)
• Transcoding on the fly.
• Read songs from Amazon S3.
• Stream from Amazon Cloudfront.

I have not found a music manager that gives me all of the above, so I'm writing my own.
