[emms-help] Enhancing emms-mode-line.el

[Tim Landscheidt]

Hi,

I'm thinking about enhancing emms-mode-line.el (and inte-
grating emms-mode-line-icon.el in the process).

  Instead of the present, "take it or write your own func-
tion" approach, I would like to use something like
battery-mode-line-format with a bunch of "%a" -> track's
artist, "%t" -> track's title, "%s" -> old format, "%i" ->
icon mappings.

  The problem I see when looking at - hmmm -
emms-track-simple-description is that the format should de-
pend on the track type. This could be dealt with by an
alist (always as an alternative to a personal function):

| '((file . "%i %a: %t")
|   (url  . "%i %u")
|   (t    . "%T: %N"))

Are there scenarios that don't fit well into this?
