Properties of the test file with multiple artists and genres

Song in app

In the last few weeks I've been mostly doing backend work so there arent too many UI changes to show off. The music service refactor / rewrite has caused me to rewrite a few of the other backend systems (and there will probably be a bunch more that need it to). Since I was already making so many changes to the data access layer, I decided now would be the best time to basically clean up the whole data model and make the necessary changes to support some of the highest requested features like supporting multiple artists and multiple genres. These changes led me to rewrite the scanner entirely (I had to do it anyway due to the data access layer changes). Now the scanner will recognize artists and genres that are delimited by a specific character (";" by default) and set them up in the database accordingly. Since fields with the ";" in it are a bit ugly.. i do plan on adding some functionality to replace that with "and" or "&" or really whatever phrase you want when displaying the song in now playing / notifications / etc. That hasnt been implemented yet so these screenshots will show the delimiter.In order to show this in app, I quickly coded up a artist and genre details UI. The plan is to show some sort of artist / genre image at the top similar to the album details view. Right now its just a solid color background.As you might have guessed, there wont be an alpha version ready to test anytime this year. My first child is expected to be born in a few weeks so it is unclear how much dev time I will be getting in the near future, but I will try my best to continue the WIP posts and get something testable in the early 2018 time frame (hopefully)
