Plexamp, standalone music player that can play any music format
I&#x27;m a heavy user of iTunes 10.6.3. The old interface is beautiful, and it syncs music&#x2F;contacts&#x2F;calendars to my iPhone and iPod over USB without needing iCloud.<p>Next year I&#x27;m planning to rewrite iTunes as a personal project.<p>Essential features for me are:<p>- Multiple libraries<p>- Tags<p>- Playlists<p>- Playlist folders<p>- Sync<p>- AppleScript<p>- Mini player<p>I use iTunes as a general database manager, not only for music. I have a library for Facebook friends, where each person is stored as URL track. Clicking on the track triggers a PHP script, which opens my browser with their profile.<p>I also have other databases for Raspberry Pi projects, universities &amp; departments, SMS text messages, and Chinese characters (a script on that library is what became <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pingtype.github.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pingtype.github.io</a> ).<p>Before I start this huge project, could anyone tell me about alternatives? I&#x27;ve looked into FileMaker, Access, SQL, MongoDb, etc, but nothing has the ease of use, nested playlist folders, and scriptability of iTunes.
