Hi,
I came across moode audio when doing a google search for what distributions are available for Allo usbridge device. I read few threads and I like ecosystem here and also the way admin handles the forum. I was using sparky+kali reclocker+piano 2.1 using volumio image provided by allo. Later I replaced the sparky with raspberry pi because of an ancient kernel that comes with the sparky. I have built my own simple image using the stock 64 bit Raspbian image. I don't use anything fancy. Just the mpd daemon and once in a while I use alsaeq for equalizer. At the moment I use cantata as the default player on my laptop and macbook and rompr (which also maintains rating in a MySQL database). I have written an mpd event daemon - 'mpdev' that watches mpd events and updates a database for playcounts, last played and ratings. Using mpdev, I maintain the same rating in the mpd sticker database and rompr database. By storing these few things in a sqlite database I'm able to generate playlists for mpd on the fly. I can use criteria like - play songs rated 3 stars and above, that I haven't heard in the last 3 months, play songs of a particular genre that I haven't played in the last 10 days, play songs that I have never heard, play songs that I play often, play songs from a particular artist, etc. I also use lirc to play, pause, stop, modify volume, change ratings etc using a commonly used media center remote using an irexec script. I am good at C programming (my passion and hobby) but have no knowledge on writing things that work on the web. But I can hack things, even for things written for the web. I plan to look at the moode audio ui and add rating option, play counts, last played, etc. If I succeed, it will be in public domain.
My existing work mpdev and other things are on github
https://github.com/mbhangui/mpdev
and one trivial project for all my raspberry pi, banana pi music devices that allows me to share music from a central server using NFS and automount and automatically shutdown all devices to save power when I go to sleep in the night.

If you find anything useful, You can use any of my code as you like.
