itdb_track_new ()

Itdb_Track* itdb_track_new                  (void);

Creates an empty Itdb_Track

Returns : the new Itdb_Track, free it with itdb_track_free() when no longer needed

itdb_track_free ()

void        itdb_track_free                 (Itdb_Track *track);

Frees the memory used by track

track : an Itdb_Track

itdb_track_add ()

void        itdb_track_add                  (Itdb_iTunesDB *itdb,
                                             Itdb_Track *track,
                                             gint32 pos);

Adds track to itdb->tracks at position pos (or at the end if pos is -1). The application is responsible to also add it to the master playlist. The itdb gets ownership of the track and will take care of freeing the memory it uses when it's no longer necessary.

itdb : an Itdb_iTunesDB
track : an Itdb_Track
pos : position of the track to add

itdb_track_remove ()

void        itdb_track_remove               (Itdb_Track *track);

Removes track from the Itdb_iTunesDB it's associated with, and frees the memory it uses. It doesn't remove the track from the playlists it may have been added to, in particular it won't be removed from the master playlist.

track : an Itdb_Track

itdb_track_unlink ()

void        itdb_track_unlink               (Itdb_Track *track);

Removes track from the Itdb_iTunesDB it's associated with, but do not free memory. It doesn't remove the track from the playlists it may have been added to, in particular it won't be removed from the master playlist. track->itdb is set to NULL.

track : an Itdb_Track

itdb_track_duplicate ()

Itdb_Track* itdb_track_duplicate            (Itdb_Track *tr);

Duplicates an existing track

tr : an Itdb_Track
Returns : a newly allocated Itdb_Track

itdb_track_by_id ()

Itdb_Track* itdb_track_by_id                (Itdb_iTunesDB *itdb,
                                             guint32 id);

Looks up a track using its ID in itdb. Looking up tracks by ID is not really a good idea because the IDs are created by itdb just before export. The functions are here because they are needed during import of the iTunesDB which is referencing tracks by IDs. This function is very slow (linear in the number of tracks contained in the database). If you need to lookup many IDs use itdb_track_id_tree_create(), itdb_track_id_tree_destroy(), and itdb_track_id_tree_by_id().

itdb : an Itdb_iTunesDB
id : ID of the track to look for
Returns : Itdb_Track with the ID id or NULL if the ID cannot be found.

itdb_track_id_tree_create ()

GTree*      itdb_track_id_tree_create       (Itdb_iTunesDB *itdb);

Creates a balanced-binary tree for quick ID lookup that is used in itdb_track_by_id_tree() function below

itdb : an Itdb_iTunesDB
Returns : a GTree indexed by track IDs to be freed with itdb_track_id_tree_destroy() when no longer used

itdb_track_id_tree_destroy ()

void        itdb_track_id_tree_destroy      (GTree *idtree);

Frees the memory used by idtree

idtree : a GTree

itdb_track_id_tree_by_id ()

Itdb_Track* itdb_track_id_tree_by_id        (GTree *idtree,
                                             guint32 id);

Lookup an Itdb_Track by id using idtree for faster lookup (compared to itdb_track_by_id)

idtree : a GTree created using itdb_track_id_tree_create()
id : the ID of the track to search for
Returns : the Itdb_Track whose ID is id, or NULL if such a track couldn't be found

itdb_track_set_thumbnails ()

gboolean    itdb_track_set_thumbnails       (Itdb_Track *track,
                                             const gchar *filename);

Uses the image contained in filename to generate iPod thumbnails. The image can be in any format supported by gdk-pixbuf. To save memory, the thumbnails will only be generated when necessary, ie when itdb_save() or a similar function is called.

track : an Itdb_Track
filename : image file to use as a thumbnail
Returns : TRUE if the thumbnail could be added, FALSE otherwise.

itdb_track_remove_thumbnails ()

void        itdb_track_remove_thumbnails    (Itdb_Track *track);

Removes the thumbnails associated with track

track : an Itdb_Track
