1. Adding a "Restart bliss" option to the web interface.

   This is a feature that I did not think would be needed, but with the latest version being released I was not able to see the update from the web UI until bliss was restarted. Since I run bliss on CentOS, there is no provided init scripts and the one I have created only starts bliss so the easiest and quickest way for me to reboot bliss is to bounce my server (which also serves media via SubSonic).

   The update process restarts bliss at the end so I assume the code for a restart is already written and could easily be incorporated into the UI.

2. Display more files

   Redesign the main interface page to take up less real estate and dedicate more lines for the display read out.

   I have Thousands of files and viewing them on a screen 96 at a time is difficult. Increasing the default to 250 or 500 or 1000 or all would be awesome.

   Also tighten up the display a smaller font and no lines spacing between the lines would be helpful

5. [BIG ONE] Changing bliss to a task queue work flow style.

   I believe this idea will fundamentally improve the usability of bliss. I purchased bliss in hope it would save me huge amount of time w/ managing a music collection of (5000+ albums and growing...) However, I found bliss saved me some time, but not that much!

   What I realize is while bliss' idea and its features are great, the productivity issue is in the UI workflow design.

   Bliss automatically scans library in the background, but most fix actions are designed to be done interactive(in real time). I found I choose the non-compliant album and click on fix, and then WAIT for bliss to complete the action....before I can move on to the next album.

   My time is mostly wasted waiting for bliss to complete an action. (frankly, bliss is not that fast in performing a lot of actions)... Often this fix action is also happen simultaneously with bliss scanning the library in the background, which making it even slower.

   Also for an attempt to automate some of the feature to avoid excessive repetitive steps. Automatic option features are introduce for some of the fixes. The problems with automatic fix is not sure if every fix to be performed is done correctly. I always afraid bliss making a wrong decision on a special case, or the online database information is incorrect. that happens! Some people asked to have a log of what action bliss has taken, i think that to some extend is reflecting the same problem.

   The idea is allow Bliss to support the concept of fix queue. Basically an asynchronous queue detach users action and actual job. Allow user extremely fast to browse and making decisions. Then bliss can take its time to execute (sequentially or in parallel depends on action type) completes and logs action. If further result is needed (ie. pick a albrum art). It can remember the result, and have user come back to make a quick selection, requeue the album updating task as another task to be performed in the background.)

   So,

   Scan library for fixes -> present fixes -> user selection -> actual fix --> [loop to present fixes .....]

   are much better work flow then current real time fix.

   I hope to save all bliss user a significant amount of time and making bliss a much more useful tools for the world :)

6. Always album track listing, with optional potential duplicate file indication

   On an album's page, there is no track listing unless the File Organization Rules are active (if disabled, no track file info at all). One would expect to see both track names and filenames should be listed. The workarounds, to go via the Tags page, or enable the file-org rule(s), are suboptimal.

   Moreover, if potential duplicates could be indicated in the track list (and propagated to the album overview), it would make cleaning up large aggregated collections a little less frustrating.

   The duplicate detection could be as simple as a case-insensitive comparison of the filename (e.g. "There are 4 similarly named files in other albums (see which ones)"), or a more advanced comparison on metadata-stripped files. A spectral-fingerprint-based comparison would be nice(tm), but...

9. Ability to clear and rescan part of the filesystem.

   I've been using Bliss to sort out my aged and varied collection and it's working very well but... a full rescan takes hours so it would be useful to be able to recan just a part of the filesystem (eg .../The Artist).

   I know that you can use Bliss to edit tags but it's much quicker to rip through files with shell commands, delete duff albums, rename artists etc and then get Bliss to check it out afterwards.

   The database must know the filepath so it could verify that the files it thought were there still are (and clean it's database if not) and add any new ones.

10. Messaging could be clearer here?

11. add logic to conditionally use tags in filename

    i like to name my files with as little info as possible, but as much info as necessary in order to be able to clearly allocate the correct artist, album and track:

    <artist> - <album> - <discnumber:nn if greater than 1><tracknumber:nn> - <songtitle>

    example for a single disc album song:

    Jim Morrison - An American Prayer - 02 - Ghost Song.mp3

    example for a multi-disc album song:

    Booker T. & The MG's - Time Is Tight - 0208 - Johnny, I Love You.mp3

    i suggest to be able to conditionally use tags in the filename such as "IF discnumber > 1 USE <discnumber:nn>"

13. Include any pre-existing images in a directory (aka folder) when looking for alternative images.

    Over the decades a lot of my music directories have collected various images in various filenames for use by various devices (Dension, Squeezebox, Ithings etc).

    Now I'm embedding images for my latest in-car system (which seems to have suffered the backwards step of requiring embedded images), it seems a little silly to be looking on the net for images when they probably exist right next to the audio files.

14. Add options to rescan button to rescan specific types

    Add more options to the rescan button for rescanning albums of the different statuses, and for forgetting and rescanning albums of specific statuses. I am thinking:

    • Re-scan all Unknown
    • Re-scan all Compliant
    • Re-scan all Non-Compliant
    • Purge all Unknown and Re-scan
    • Purge all Compliant and Re-scan
    • Purge all Non-Compliant and Re-scan

    I often want to re-scan my collection, but don't need to re-scan the albums which are known as compliant, so being able to re-scan just the ones that need re-scanning would speed things up no end. Especially the ones that are "Unknown".

16. Ability to play untagged tracks through the browser

    When faced with a collection of untagged tracks with no suggestions it would be nice if it was possibly to play the track via the web ui to assist in working out what the track is. Currently one needs to navigate the file system of the stored music and play the file, which is possible, but not nearly as simple.

18. Write musicbrainz IDs (MUSICBRAINZ_ID) into files (release, track, recording...)

    I'm not sure what exactly bliss does when it is fingerprinting but it would be helpful if it could write the MBIDs that it either generates or receives from MusicBrainz into the files.

    Reason: The popular Squeezebox TrackStat plugin can use these to identify songs even after they have been moved or renamed. If there are no Track IDs in the files, all TrackStat statistics (Playcount, rating etc) will be lost if files are renamed or moved.

    I am processing 170,000 files. So I have some comments on this very good software...
    1) Please allow me to auto-accept size and track number changes without clicking each album
    2) Please have some intelligence in the Genre such that "country" automatically becomes "Country", (as well as "Singer-Songwriter --> Singer/Songwriter", "R&b --> R&B"), etc. And let me autoaccept those
    3) Please give me a way to clear out all uncessary information that is not part of the standard IDV tags (and clear out any comments, etc, that are part of the tags standard but are not necessary).
    4) Please don't restart the whole scan when I accept a new genre
    5) Please show the artist as well as the album name when asking me to verify or change a genre

    Thank you!
