Key cleanup
Pandora: Retrieve song explanations, and announce explanation at start of message.
Autotune needs a manual way to set who is around
Parsnip
- Schemas: add JSON reference support
Daemon improvements/bugs:

- Report source status when listing sources
- Add support for sd_notify(3)
- Better separation of albums without disk IDs---prevent album name collisions.
- Library: When acquiring tracks for playback by artist, if
- Check on refactor Users to use callbacks and get rid of linkages
- Tone generator: DTMF generator?

- Track spacing/ inject specific track between all other tracks.
- Provide API routines for wrapper application control
- Add rating/marking for adult language/children's/etc?

- Add probability on random album mode
- Remove playlist ratings on playlist removal
- Multithread queries to sourcees when passing through media manager
- Regex support for filters?

Unit tests needed
- filter tests
- playlist create smart
- playlist create dumb
Pianod client improvements
- Update HTML to use <dialog> tags
- Restore --strictNullChecks TypeScript compile flag
- Client doesn't reflect user actions and ratings on current song upon login
- Build script: Deliver client locale files to website. Remove deliver target from Makefile
- TrackView: viewing next song at front of queue disables dequeue option in additional-actions pop-up
- Show "Various Artists" as artist name for compilation albums
- Show "Artist unknown" when artist is not known
- Client: When "Stopped", change Special Playlists->Stop to Resume/Continue.
- Need to wipe field values on load, or Linux may remember them
- If multiple rooms, prompt to select one on login. Option for 'always ask' or 'always start here'.
- Searchview: previous/next search review history buttons
- Trackview: handle QueueChanged event
- Trackview: explain song
- Trackview: Recue current song
- Trackview: Get history/future data from QueueView.
- QueueView: Process song messages directly rather than querying STATUS.
- SearchView: Add all search results as seeds to some playlist
