Greetings,

I got quite disappointed with almost all audio players and decided to 
make one myself which would fulfill my needs. It should be similar to my 
foobar2000 configuration which looks like this:

I'm not talking about the graphics, which is stolen from WMP anyway, but 
I mean the layout and functionality. I'm wondering what widgets I should 
use. For the left panel (dynamic playlists) it's clear - gtk.TreeView. 
Now what about the filter panels, which widget would you suggest? I was 
thinking about a table with just one column. Is it a good idea?

And now the most complicated part - the playlist. Table or TreeView? Or 
something else? Can I join more rows and columns in TreeView? Also what 
about performance, I might have more then 10 000 tracks in the playlist. 
What will be faster?

Please help me to choose the correct widgets so I won't have to spend 
many hours experimenting. Thank you.


Best regards,
Vlada
