Playlist Track Visualization Preview Column

[eeik]

Hi all,

Similar to how the Spectrogram-Display renders a more feature rich visual thumbnail for an individual track is playing, I'd very much like to see a visual thumbnail of the track inline within the track listing / library center pane instead of, or in addition to the thumbnail art for each track.

rekordbox's playlist feature is a good example of something lower fidelity than the full spectrogram, but still visually remarkable expressing discernable track features relative to other tracks in the playlist.

It'd be really cool to be able to embed images in a custom column in the tracklist!

+1 from me as well.

As a thought for (possibly... ) low hanging fruit implementation  - could it be a possibility to have the spectrum analyser write a small image file (specs/res based on user pref), have that then added as an 'artwork' image (not sure if that would allow wide / non-square aspect ratios, or if there are limitations when icon/disc is used, or if there is a way to create custom slots... I do barely use Artwork for Cover only... ), which in turn could be shown through the 'artwork' option (if field can be specified...).
Just a thought.
