Per GENRE Equalizer

Theres a feature request to save equalizer info per song, which is probably an overkill and complex thing to do since the data should be somehow stored along with the track info. http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=1613 I propose a separate db to store such a feature, since i believe it should be fairly simpler (of course i can be wrong, im no programmer =D )

This should be configured thru a window with two columns, one for the genre, one for the desired eq preset, so user can assign it at will and store it in a separate db, [i think] making it even portable.

Again, one image, worth a thousands words: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19901523/clem_m6%20%28eq%20x%20genre%20window%29.png (Thats how i would see it on linux with my current theme and stuff)

In the image above we can see:

• 2 drop down menus at the top, with an 'add' button.
• The actual genre/preset list
• Delete [selected row in the list] button
• The remarked in red rows shows one default eq preset assigned to a custom genre and vice versa
• Export, Import, Done buttons

REMARKS

• There should be a default list as follows:
  • Untagged songs would just us the default global eq setting
  • Default genre list should have a default value, e.g.: Rock(genre) would be assigned Rock (preset) by default. If there is no available match, then use a flat eq config.
• List should be editable inline, offering the default preset list when starting to edit, just like the genre field does on the current track info editing window

Ok thats pretty much it.. it may make it into a mainstream version some day, if its found useful =)

Does any one have any suggestion how we should do this? I was thinking that building a plugin or tool that will set equalizer preset according to the genre of song should be made first. That will be comparatively simple from the above, I think.
