Planning to have functions to list albums/songs in artists/albums (directly related to what the Subsonic API returns). May also implement "list all songs for artist" by recursively searching through the artist's albums.

Looking for ideas on how to name these functions:

• list playlists / artists / albums should be obvious to intent
• list songs; not sure if this is appropriate. Current thought is to have a flag to determine what to list from (playlist, artist, or album), defaulting to album.

Hi!

I find the whole idea of managing my airsonic instance via terminal quite cool. I don't know what the status of this cli is but I thought I'd give it a go. I can search for songs and subs add them. When I run subs play however nothing happens. Is this not implemented yet?
There was another cli in the airsonic community, airsonic-cli, but it was only briefly developed and is now abandoned. What's the general plan for this if there is any?

Anyways, thanks for your work on this so far!

I just tried to build the project because it seems quite interesting, however it fails with the following error:

    Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
error: failed to load source for a dependency on `sunk`                                                                                            

Caused by:
  Unable to update file:///home/heyarne/Downloads/sunk

Caused by:

Caused by:
  No such file or directory (os error 2)

So it seems that some Subsonic doesn't parse ID3 tags properly for some media formats. Prime examples in my personal library are ogg files. Examples for an ogg file here and flac here. These are fully tagged in my beets library, and this is what Subsonic returns to me (for reference, the ogg is 132Kbps and 221 seconds).

The duration tag is parsed as a None, and thus the playback loop fails spectacularly because I have to guess how long the song is, and status crashes the server because it panics unwrapping the duration (or would error if I did it properly).

Simple math does work here, but luckily for me (/s) Subsonic also doesn't return bit rate with info on these media formats, so I can't guess at their duration by (file size / bit rate).

Forcing a fixed streaming bit rate works to a point, as you can't upsample a song; this works if the source is above whatever limit is set, but fails anyway if it's lower. I could make this a run-time variable and leave it to people to pick something lower than the lowest bit rate in their collection, but that sounds bad.

Looking for opinions on how to solve this (if it's even possible).
