Lately I was working on other mods in the genLibrary function, I noticed that MPD supplies a Format attribute (like 44100:16:2).
After adding a soundquality attribute to the songData (server side) and extract it in the groupdLib (frontend), it was pretty easy to implement the overlays.
The value of soundquality is an empty string when it concerns a compressed file, else the samplerate/1000.
I have a basic working version, but the hard part is the flavour of the visualisation.
Some try-outs:
A

D

Personally I lean towards D, with some tweaks:
* Compressed Files also gets a overlay with no text (I don't have them but like to be warned about it).
* Most tracks in my lib are 44k or 48k, maybe remove overlay and text for it ?
* To save screen estate did leave the bitdepth out of it. In my lib almost all 44/48k are 16bit, but all 96 or higher are 24bit.
* No clue about which color for which samplerate ...
Any opinion or feedback is welcome!
Thanks
