Project Vision & Scope #
One contract on the bus for every source, and a record named by what is on it and what the owner owns.
In Scope
- Drivers for iTunes, Spotify and the turntable
- Naming the album and finding its cover
- Counting what is asked of outside services
Out of Scope
- Holding the owner’s music: EdS Music Inventory
