Hi,
I was just trying out the different option available and logged under Administrator account (on a local server) only to find that the manage.aspx page was not in the website folder. I was wondering for what reason it wasn't in the release 1.5 and was excluded in the source code.

Tam Yea, we ran out of resources and had to rush to get a release out the door or face loosing all the work done by all the great volunteers on the project. I made the decision to put the management parts on hold in order to get our resources dedicated to getting the core functionality stable. The manage page (from earlier releases) was nice because you could manage the scanner and edit the config files and in this release we had high hopes for the management framework, for example, if the queue detected that an album was no longer on the share it would not be deleted from the database until approved by an admin. 90% of the business logic is in the source for the new management system but it an interface to use it has not been created and none of it has been tested. Sadly, since I'm flying solo now (and I have a demanding full time job and a newborn daughter) I can't say when it will be completed.

Well, since your piece of software is pretty much what I was looking for in the first place and I was thinking about improving my local copy of the code, maybe I could give you a hand. I am not saying that I am a top notch C# programmer, but I have about a year or so of professional programming experience in this language and I am a computing student.
There are a few things that I'd like to see:
1. more support for file type (example: .ogg, .m4a, .flac, .mpc, .ape/.cue);
2. ability to keep the player on the main frame and put the other pages under a child frame, so to keep playing while browsing;
3. adding a last.fm account link to update the count on the last.fm website and retrieve the play count from it;
4. ability to add single tracks to the current playlist;
5. multiple field search box (for artist/title/album).
I am researching what could silverlight bring to the current application, as well.

All of this sounds great to me. If you want write access to the subversion repository on sourceforge just let me know, or just make your edits and when you're sure they're stable just let me know and I'll either ammend the trunk or I'll create a branch for the revision and send out a global communique to let the users know that there is a new revision.

Thanks a lot, I am in the phase of deciphering the code right now, though, so don't expect anything soon. There are a few things I need to get sorted before I can even run a development version under my Vista/VS2008 environment. Anyway, just FYI I found this: TagLib#. That could be a nice replacement for the current Lib used for retrieving ID3Tags, specially mp3cms is to overgrow its targeted file type specification (*.mp3 only), and add support for *.ogg, *.m4a, *.mpc, and others. :) Tam

Hey Tam,
Just wanted to check in and see if you made any progress in the features you were researching and let you know I will be releasing a new revision in the next few weeks with Roles Management included. You can now lock down the app to prevent users from creating accounts, lock out accounts, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
