Alejandro and I discussed this in detail last summer. I think this is
a crucial, crucial feature.

> p.s. who will setup a nice wiki page to collect these proposals?
There already is one http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Proposals


Another addition:
Remote Sharing via DAAP. Both iTunes and WMP have this feature now.
People should be able to seamlessly listen and browse tracks in
Amaroks on the LAN. Amarok should also support the DACP remote control
spec (http://dacp.jsharkey.org/) so people can controller amarok
remotely from devices (i.e., cellphones).

One more:
BETTER APPLETS! A Mashtape like applet is uber needed. (see bottom of
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Proposals/More_Contexual_Information)
