LanP3 in the short term

LanP3 Roadmap

LanP3 will be going through various small revisions over the next month or so, which will bring in various new features and bug fixes. Our aim is to have something extremely useful and somewhat versatile by incrementally increasing features.

We started with version 2.00, and the following revisions are what you can expect in the short-term. This is published as a guide to what we are wanting to achieve, and may not be adhered to by the letter, but we will be aiming towards the things mentioned here. We look forward to any suggestions.

  • 2.05 - Bug Fixes and Web enhancements
  • 2.06 - AutoPlay and Queue
  • 2.07 - Statistics

General Ideas and questions / comments



  • Would you prefer MS Access database, isntead of SQL Express?
  • Would you like a Kiosk mode? ie a full screen desktop, resembling some sort of actual jukebox?
  • Streaming?
  • Volume?
  • What about radio stations?
  • What about podcasts? we could auto download and add to queue, based on channels?


AutoPlay and the Queue

The AutoPlay will be getting a much more easier to use, and more transparent way of working.
We intend to have 3 settings over the 5 that are now currently available, which will make it much easier to understand.
Much needed additions to it will include:
  • Ability to specify that AutoPlay kicks in only when there is nothing in the Queue
  • Ability to remove a track, before it is played.
  • User Can add to Queue On/Off tied in with AutoPlay On/Off/Mixed
  • Ability to push a tracks up and down the queue

Tracks and Statistics

We intend to monitor tracks played and present statistics within the Web interface.
  • Most played Artists
  • Most played Tracks
  • Most played Albums
  • Most played Genre
  • Ratings

Admin Control

The Administrators will also get a few enhancements
  • Web Settings, Queue Control will be available from a new Web Admin page
  • More settings and more control over how LanP3 works
  • The LanP3 Credit System will evolve where you can grant one or more individuals more Credits

At the same time, LanP3 will continue to be tested and bugs will be sorted. With more people using it, LanP3 will become a much more solid application.
