Hello!

I posted a very prelliminary patch a while back and have bee quite busy
since. But here is my first prototype of an integrated magnatune music
store. This patch is not for the faint of heart, but I have been keeping it
to myself for a long time and thought it was time to get some external
feedback.

This patch, like the previous one, allows browsing and previewing of all
artist, albums and tracks from magnatune.com. Any preview item can be added
to persistant playlists. This patch also allows the purchase of music
directly from within amarok. !!THIS FEATURE IS EXPERIMENTAL SO USE AT YOU
OWN RISK!! If you choose to test this with your own credit card information,
at the very least, copy the magnatune information displayed on the download
dialog (user name and password) as this will allow you to go to
magnatune.com and download your purchase should anything go wrong. If you
choose to download the album to a location already monitored by Amarok, it
will be automatically added to the collection. NOTE: this feature requires
unzip to be installed.

The patch can be downloaded from here:

This is quite a large binary patch (it was created with the --force option)
as it contains a few images. it was made against revision 573080

I hope I have not messed the patch up too badly (am still quite new at this
patch thing, so bare with me)


Please let me know what you think. :-)
