grooveshare's Issues

Channels

Allow users to create their own channels, with personal tracklists.

Each channel will use it's own likes/dislikes to influence the playlist, however hovering over these stats shows the global ratings for that song.

Listeners can limit who has what access to their channels via simply filters:

• Invite only
• Email domain
• Free to listen, invite only to add
• Free for all

SQLite constraint crash

        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

Track volume

Processes and equalize tracks on download to create a more consistent listening volume

Flag songs with poor audio

Add an extra UI element that flags audio for poor quality. A new source should be found automatically, downloaded and replace the current audio file.

What if no more sources are available? What if the new source is equally bad?

Skipped songs not removed from clients queue

If a track is skipped for whatever reason the event is not emitted to the client. The queued track is not removed from their queue.

However if another song is queued after it and gets played it will remove the dead track from the queue

Synced rating

• Down votes are currently being displayed as up votes for other users and doubling up on clients
• Votes are not stored in trackManager, new users to the page aren't seeing accurate ratings

Live and full length albums

Add in search criteria to skip live and full length album YouTube videos

Track silence

Trim silent portions from the beginning or end of tracks to avoid unnecessary pauses.

Suggested library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sox.js
