Music Request Feature

[rugbykid]

As I've been using SilverJuke for several months now, I have realized that my music collection isn't quite where I would like it. I often have people telling me that " You need to get _______ on your jukebox " ... the problem is their is no organized way to keep track of this. I had out a piece of paper for people to write suggestions on (several times) but always seem to lose them. (plus, inthis digital world...who wants to keep track of PAPER...)

I would love to see a 'music suggestion list' feature.

Functionality Possibilities:

- When searching for a song using the search bar or on-screen keyboard, add a button that would either add the search string to a list, or would bring the user to a quick popup form and allow them to enter information (this would allow the suggestions to go into a database and be more flexible for later use)

The form would ask for basic information : Artist name, Song name, User Name, and Comments (all fields optional).

This information would then be entered into a new row into the music_suggestion table (or whatever table is created for this).

I can't imagine a Jukebox owner or Music enthusiast who wouldnt want the chance to get direct feedback from the users or customers of their jukebox.

I hope this all makes sense and finds a home in a future version of Silverjuke.


(I know this could be done with a skin and script, but I think this should be a permanent feature that the SJ developers could integrate very cleanly)

I would be happy to expand on more ideas I have for this feature.

Thanks!

I third this idea!
Any one fancy taking a stab at adding it as a script or mod???

Ideally (for me) a script that gets info, then emails me the info about the request, but storing it in a data base would be fine too. Why not offer both methods :)
