I'm building a home music theatre system. It's intended to function
with a touchscreen computer, but my current touchscreen monitor is
broken. Current software features include:
* auto-ripping of CDs to ogg-vorbis
* collection of CDDB data from freedb.org
* user-editable library data
* scraping of album art from Google Images
* Coverflow/Pictureflow album listing interface
* search function
* seeking within tracks
The only part that uses pygame is the actual audio-playback.
Everything else is done in PyQt and regular Python. Though, given the
chance to go back and start over, I think I'd use C++. Python is
certainly nice, but finding libraries (such as those applicable to
audio playback, CD ripping, or Vorbis handling) for it has been a
royal pain. And since the target hardware is around 300MHz with 256MB
of RAM, speed issues are also a significant concern.
