Hello,<br><br>i just like to ask if there a plans to add any of the following features in future versions. If some features are already available by using additional programs (e.g. a good tag editor) please name them because iīm quite new to (K)ubuntu and donīt already know all of the great applications out there. If i got some more experience in using (K)ubuntu and developing software for it iīll try to help developing Amarok. But for now i need to learn some basic things in the big world of the penguin. ;)<br>
<br>So letīs start:<br><br>Improved cover management<br><br>- read covers of titles which arenīt in the collection and display them at the playlist (e.g. folder.jpg)<br><br>- fetch covers from amazon and other sources and save it to a customizable location (e.g. the folder containing the song). A great example of an implementation of these features is the, windows only because of .NET 3.5, program "<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/">Album Art Downloader</a>". You can manually search for art, search for missing art in your collection and finally just click the image of the cover you want and it will be saved to a predefined, customizable or manually chosen location. I really miss this kind of program in the linux world - is there a special reason why there isnīt one?<br>
<br><br>Queue Manager<br><br>- a simple implementation like the one in 1.4 would be great because this is a "must have" at parties<br><br><br>Collection management / presentation<br><br>- a possibility to automatically adjust the file name of a song if you change itīs tags (all file names of my collection are well organized so that they fit with the tags - and it would be great if i need to do changes just at one place). Maybe this can be done by adding some options to the metadata editor - a checkbox like "Change the filename, too" and some options for the way it will be done ( [artist] - [title].[extension] ) should do the job.<br>
<br>- display artist and title for all songs which are listed at the various artist section (well, just the same behavior like 1.4)<br><br><br>Thanks for reading and a special thanks to everybody who developed this great application.<br>
