Bite-sized Amarok projects

[Lukas]

How about adding Auto-tagging feature/helper?

Its quite easy to fetch tags from services like last.fm in a similar way as
lyrics.

The catch there is to handle this process not to get too many tags, mistyped
or used on only one file. But its doable. The simplest way, I think, is by
having separate table for tag meta data. Once new tags are added, they are
instantly written to Amarok DB and marked as unconfirmed. Later some sort of
tags editor kicks in. There user can easily mark tag as one of these: Junk -
There is lots of tags like Sexxxxy, cool, etc that doesn't make scene - Just
mark them junk, and they are gone forever. Alias - Take an example if user
is not a big fan of hard rock. I bet he whoun't like to have "Underground
rock", "East cost rock", "Celts rock" etc. Marking them as alias to simply
Rock would do renaming automatically and also save the day. And finally -
Marking as "Confirmed" Should just add them as they are.

Especially when you can't tag on 3rd part id3 editor, and doing this
manually for 2k-10k+ collections would take weeks, if not months.
