Hey everyone,

after playing around with Playdarcollection [just wanted to port it to
QJson and to test it I had to get into Playdar] I think it's a really
good (but not fully usable) part of Amarok and it would be a pitty if it
would be left to die as a disabled Plugin in the SourceCode.

@Andy:
If Playdar is not "dead" and it would make Sense to extend/adapt the
PlaydarCollection I have some proposals (that need check from the more
experienced Amarok Devs if they make sense) how to make it better and
would also help you with Parts of it (especially the Service Part):

- -) Make it into a Service like the last.fm Service. This would allow
Users to disable/enable and it would also make it possible to have a
ConfigDialog available (is it possible to run playdar-core on another
Computer then localhost and access it?)

- -) The Search is not soo usable ... would it be possible to search
Playdar for all Songs from Artist foo (without specifying a Title)? If
not that's a pitty and I would hope for playdar to change it; if yes the
search from amarok should be changed to not always look for "artist: foo
& song: foo" if someone typed foo in the filterwidget.

Greetings,
Stefan
