kissdx Folder Options - Specification
-------------------------------------


RATIONALE

kissdx currently handles all media folders and subfolders in the same way.
It can be desirable to do special handling of individual folders.

What prompted this idea was the latest addition to kissdx, gapless 
back-to-back playback of audio files.  Currently kissdx will list all 
mp3/ogg entries in a folder, and IN ADDITION it will list the special
combined files for back-to-back playback.  A problem with this is that
after playing back the combined file, the player will continue with the
individual media files, playing all songs a second time, not back-to-back.
It would be nice if, for some folders like live albums, ONLY the special 
combined file was listed, and for other folders ONLY the individual media 
files should be listed.


INITIAL THOUGHTS AND NOTES

A special options file inside a folder could be read by kissdx to get 
instructions on how to process this folder (and all subfolders that do not 
have their own options file):

kissdx.opt

This file can have instructions like the following:

back-to-back = {on|off|only}

Other ideas for options that could be in this file?


IMPLEMENTATION
