2 New Amarok GSoC Ideas Added, Take a Look!

[HARDIK DHIMMAR]

I am GSOC enthusiastic person and want to contribute to open source. I want
to directly come to the point:

First: Presently amarok is not supporting bollywood lyrics. I have studied
the source code and found that it loads the English songs lyrics from
http://lyrics.wikia.com/
dynamically using javascript accessing words array.
I found similar website which gives the lyrics for bollywood songs. I would
love to implement this feature.

Secondly: I am facing difficulties in loading the song from my local
drive(other than Ubuntu drive). Its not showing up on left hand side part
of amarok screen.
Is this problem due to installation of KUbuntu using wubi? I want to really
work on this two topics.

If this things are not worth pursuing, I want to join the existing project
: Unified CUE File and Audiobook Chapter Support in Amarok.
Any guidance from anyone would be appreciable.
