A cloud view of the artists in your library


Constellations



Description

An alphabetical list of the artists in your library, with font size determined by recentness of last play, and brightness determined by total number of playcounts for that artist.

Ultimately I would also like to include these features:

  • Artists arranged by similarity indices from Last.fm
  • Zoomable
  • Customizable criteria for size/brightness



Release Notes

Please note: This is an extraordinarily immature prototype in utterly dreadful shape, for demonstration purposes only. Do not expect to use this for any actual library browsing. If you use this media view on any library or playlist with a large number of tracks, Songbird will stall indefinitely.

As an unabashed novice, I have an immense amount of work to do in building this into something even remotely usable. This is as far as I got this spring, but I've decided to put the code out there in the hopes that somebody will help me to improve it. If you have any advice whatsoever, do not hesitate to contact me at http://constellations.cc

The screenshot you see was made in Songbird 1.1.2, but for some reason in 1.4.0b2, it can't even begin to tackle my entire library. But it helps you to get the idea.

@topdownjimmy: Interesting idea! Yes, as you as said it's remotely usable. Keep it up! :P

Cool, but it pops up a window that says, "HI!" every time you use it or click anything in it...
