From 8a80c4593f066f986e02ca5233fc5a59097d5a67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sacha Chua Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 09:34:18 -0500 Subject: update pads and include original links for now --- 2023/talks/emms.md | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 71 insertions(+) (limited to '2023/talks/emms.md') diff --git a/2023/talks/emms.md b/2023/talks/emms.md index 3a2d32af..39ceb70f 100644 --- a/2023/talks/emms.md +++ b/2023/talks/emms.md @@ -16,6 +16,77 @@ Yoni Rabkin - IRC: yrk - How We Work: Emms Development +# Discussion + +## Questions and answers + +- Q: To warm up, what is the music playing during the lunch break? + - A:(zaeph) Album: *basement days*  by shoshin (Grant Shangreaux) + ❤️ + - +- Q: For next emacsconf, could we have an EMMS playlist to follow the + talks along?  + - A: +- Q:I I like to use Music and AudioBooks in very different ways.

What about something like + Beets in Emacs or part of EMMS? + - A: That's an active discussion on the mailing-list right now.  + We don't want to replicate what Beets does really well, and we + don't want a clunky interface with Beets.  It's hard to tell + where to draw the line.  Short answer: yes, we want to do that, + but the long answer is that it's complicated.  The backends that + are used are complicated. +- Q: Have the developers considered using Emacs\' \"Customize\" + functionality to persistently store settings when using + emms-setup-discover-players?  + - A: Another active project, especially with -discover-players.  + It's tough to figure out what is a good way to not annoy people + too much. +- Q: Is there a way to store a bookmark pointing to a song in a + playlist? + - A: +- Q: I like what you said about balancing the concern for software + freedom with the worry that this might alienate the package user.

I assume you are looking for more features than that. emms-player-simple.el defines a few, appropriately named, simple interfaces to some midi players such as fluidsynth and timidity +Notes: + +- This guy has <chefs-kiss> taste in music, by the way.
