That sounds very much doable. The player options, at least for mplayer, is the easyist. Changing the backend doesn't fit in right now, but no doubt that's solveable.
I'll do the first part right away for mplayer as (playlists are in SVN version now 'playlist' nodes), thinking out loud:
<playlist>
<group title="mygroup" mplayeropts="-turn-up-the-bass">
<item url="foo.mp3/>
<item url="bar.mp3 mplayeropts=""/>
<group title="mysubgroup" ..
..
etc.
Anyhow, mplayer will then search up until it finds a mplayeropts argument and use that.

Version: 0.9.2a (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux I would like the ability to specify options to the backend in the playlist file. This addresses the problem that a few files require unusual player options. E.G. I have a few files where the camera was apparently turned on its side, when the video was shot, so to play them correctly with mplayer requires the options "-vop rotate=0". They should not be set on the "Additional command line options" of the Preferences dialog, be cause they only work for 5 or 6 out of a hundred or more files. In the default playlist format, this might take the form of additional attributes on the <url> element. E.G. mplayeroptions="-options -for -mplayer" xineoptions="-opts -if -using -xine" gstoptions="-gstreamer -opts -for -this -file" and perhaps preferredbackend=mplayer|xine|gstreamer . Or perhaps like this: <document> <options mplayer="-options -for -mplayer" xine="-opts -fi -using -xine" gstreamer="-gstreamer -opts" preferredbackend="mplayer"> <!-- or xine or gstreamer --> <url src="file:///some/url"> <url src="http://another/usr"> </options> </document> That would take up more space, but would allow options on groups of files as well as individual files.
