Known issues and Incomplete Functions
- Adding a playlist is not properly reflected in the tabs; however its creation can be verified in the "Playlists" tab on the left half of the page (left solely for debugging purposes and not a part of the design).
- App does not close properly. Manually killing the javaw.exe process is sometimes required before restarting
- Currently list of songs displayed for voting is hardcoded.
Special Notes
An open source project called Sockso already implements much of the backend music handling(ie maintaining a database of music, automatically encoding, and playback). It was designed for streaming music to other users. As such we decided to branch this project to add our features such as dynamic playlist editing in response to voting, and our substantially different interface. The original project can be found at http://sockso.pu-gh.com/
