NAME

       POE::Component::Client::MPD::Collection - module handling collection commands

VERSION

       version 2.001

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::Client::MPD::Collection is responsible for handling general purpose
       commands. They are in a dedicated module to achieve easier code maintenance.

       To achieve those commands, send the corresponding event to the POE::Component::Client::MPD
       session you created: it will be responsible for dispatching the event where it is needed.
       Under no circumstance should you call directly subs or methods from this module directly.

       Read POE::Component::Client::MPD's pod to learn how to deal with answers from those
       commands.

       Following is a list of collection-related events accepted by POCOCM.

RETRIEVING SONGS & DIRECTORIES

   coll.all_items( [$path] )
       Return all Audio::MPD::Common::Items (both songs & directories) currently known by mpd.

       If $path is supplied (relative to mpd root), restrict the retrieval to songs and dirs in
       this directory.

   coll.all_items_simple( [$path] )
       Return all Audio::MPD::Common::Items (both songs & directories) currently known by mpd.

       If $path is supplied (relative to mpd root), restrict the retrieval to songs and dirs in
       this directory.

       /!\ Warning: the Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song objects will only have their attribute
       file filled. Any other attribute will be empty, so don't use this sub for any other thing
       than a quick scan!

   coll.items_in_dir( [$path] )
       Return the items in the given $path. If no $path supplied, do it on mpd's root directory.

       Note that this sub does not work recusrively on all directories.

RETRIEVING THE WHOLE COLLECTION

   coll.all_albums( )
       Return the list of all albums (strings) currently known by mpd.

   coll.all_artists( )
       Return the list of all artists (strings) currently known by mpd.

   coll.all_titles( )
       Return the list of all titles (strings) currently known by mpd.

   coll.all_files( )
       Return a mpd_result event with the list of all filenames (strings) currently known by mpd.

PICKING A SONG

   coll.song( $path )
       Return the Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song which correspond to $path.

   coll.songs_with_filename_partial( $string )

       Return all albums (strings) performed by $artist or where $artist participated.

   coll.songs_from_album_partial( $string )
       Return all Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Songs appearing in album containing $string.

   coll.songs_with_title( $title )
