+Design
+------
+
+Dub Playlist
+------------
+
+Dub considers the filesystem as its database. User specifies one or more
+directories as the directories in which dub will scan for all or particular
+media types.
+
+The scanning is initiated on demand, so that dub does not perform redundant
+disk access which is expensive.
+
+Design Goals
+------------
+
+v1.0
+----
+
+User interface:
+
+ * settings: select directories that contain media files.
+
+ * list/tree view to browse files: this should scan directories like a file
+manager would, consider re-using code from elsewhere
+
+ * add file: symlink to a directory as Njaard suggests
+
+v2.0
+----
+
+implement filters: directory-wise filtering of media types.
+
+implement database: for storing properties of media files, such as tags in
+mp3s so that alternative queries can be made.
+
+user interface: improved tree view that accesses the db to fetch info
+about files
+
+v3.0
+----
+
+music playing: implement an automated dj process.
