Towards Amarok Mobile: Beginning separation

There happens to be a very good last.fm client on maemo:

You may want to establish another feature/capability then that first. Making
syncing between desktop Amarok and mobile Amarok comes to mind. Casey
and your work to make storage devices work better w/ Amarok ought to give
you a leg up. If you are thinking about getting podcast stuff working, remember
that the gpodder developer is very active w/ their maemo port.

No gaping flaws from my viewing angle. I am excited about a decent
music player on MeeGo/Harmattan. All of the other attempts to put a
good player on maemo have never been sufficient for everyday use.
If you post scut work to do, I will do my best to try to participate where
time allows.
