12. Future Wishlist and Todo

In the beginning I was doing this to get to know something about XSLT and about perl scripting etc... However, things have evolved in the Cocoa direction and it has proven to be a good choice so far, since with little programming effort a very nice result was delivered. Things are pretty much the way I want them to be, so don't expect any drastic changes.

A short list of the things I want to do however:

• A way to show the play count, which is usually a good measure on how much I like an album I bought. Related to this, a way to merge the xml files, since I listen to albums both at work as home.
• You still need the iTunes xml file. It would be nice if it could take extra information from this XML file, but get the main information from the mp3 files itself.
• One XSL template to do the whole transformation.
• Jaguar, Tiger versions. A Windows version, why not?
• Probably even more...

And a short list of the things I need to do:

• Update documentation to reflect the current state of CCTunes.
• Make sure versioning is in place.
• Provide older versions online.

And a list of things I won't do (and why):

• There are handy applications to get the Album's artwork into iTunes. CCTunes will not try to replace those, since for those that want to use Free Software, Clutter is available at sourceforge and does the job. A shareware application that, amongst other things, also does this is Synergy.
