gsoc 2010 : Discussion of Project proposal "Integration of playdar with amarok"

[Sanyam goyal]

Umm..Agreeing on what Leo has said. With a ittle  modification from playdar
side(BY writing extensions in playdar) We can achieve required features in
amarok.
For e.g. We can write extension that provide search facility for list of
tracks and then Use This in amarok to generate dynamic playlist.
Please correct me , if I am wrong.
