- CD audio playback
We've already managed to create a basic version that plays .cda files, without CDDB/FreeDB support though. There is currently no way to display a waveform while playing, which is why we didn't include this feature yet.
Actual CD/DVD drives have very poor random access times when reading different parts of the disc, resulting in stutter. The only solution would be either scanning the waveform first, then start playback, or disable the waveform all together.
- CD audio grabbing
This is most likely not going to happen for a good while, if ever. There are highly specialized tools out there that have become go-to solutions, and Resonic's specialization will definitely not be CD ripping.
Not saying no to integrating external tools into Resonic though... that's a big thing on the todo list.
Format conversion
This is going to happen, especially for common formats and we'll kick this off by using the aforementioned external tool integration.
Yes, meta writing/tagging is on the todo list.
I can clearly say no to this one as the majority of sample CDs/DVDs (and sample libraries) these days are file based. Realisticly old sample CDs (e.g. AKAI, EMU) need to be converted to wav/aiff anyways to be used properly, except when actual hardware samplers are involved.
File splitting without recoding
Yes, gonna happen.
ASIO support for low latency
Big yes.
VST plug-in support
Eventually, yes. Probably with only one slot to start off with so people can plug in their favorite analyzers or speaker management systems.
I think resonic is going to be the best audio player software of all time.
