Topic: Cog Library and Development Help
Hello,
I recently migrated to OS X as my full-time platform for office and home. I was on Windows for years and then had a brief two year stint with Ubuntu. Anyway, I love my music collection and I take it very seriously. I absolutely detest what iTunes does to my pristine directory structure. Not to mention how much of a pig it is with memory and cpu resources. I played a key role in the development of a Java-based music organizer/player called Jukes(http://melloware.com). This project is now pretty much defunct and I am trying to find a home for my music collection. Cog is the best player I have found out there on OS X. It's simple and lightweight. Very lightweight. Maybe too lightweight? I mean I love the small memory/cpu footprint but I just think that Cog needs some kind of ability to manage a collection. Is this in your plans at all? The killer app for me is Media Monkey. I think it has everything you could possibly want in a media player but its for Windows only.
Also, what's the status on contributing developers? I would help develop this if necessary. I have a grasp on C++ but have never programmed Cocoa specific stuff. I just have the sense that with the recent influx of power users moving to Mac that many of them will be looking for a music player that puts the music collection first and not the store.
