Hello,<br><br>My name is Delia, I am a 3rd student at the University of Bucharest, major computer science and I would like to contribute to amarok through the summer of code program. I have been using Amarok for two years and I consider that it is the most complex and complete music player. Therefore I am eager to help it grow. <br>
<br>I have already read the ideas list posted at <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Summer_of_Code/2008/Ideas#Amarok" target="_blank">http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Summer_of_Code/2008/Ideas#Amarok</a> and I am interested in two projects: mass tagging and playlists and playlists browser..<br>
<br>1) Tagging system<br>I think the tagging system would be very useful for many users that have large playlists. I have about 8000 melodies in my playlist and sometimes the search system when you have many untagged files is not enough to listen to specific genre of music. A album based tagging system like the one in picardQT would be suitable for amarok. <br>
<br>I already installed pircardQT and I played a little bit with it. The idea is very nice, but I think picardQTs interface is not so intuitive and it does not support the mp3 format, at least it didn't work on my computer. The EasyTag interface is very nice, I am thinking to propose a similar GUI, but with PicardQT's functionalities. As stated before, it is quite hard to design a proper interface that everyone likes. I already have some ideas, but I need to think about it a little bit more. <br>
<br>2) Playlist and playlist browser<br><br>This is a very nice project. I had problems with the playlist for large number of melodies in the past, now things are a lot better, but still it needs improvements. I need to investigate the problem a little bit more. <br>
<br>
I will also be on the IRC channel for further discussion.<br><br>Best Regards,<br>Dela <br>
