Actually, this is not quite correct.  I talked to you about this feature
and agreed that it was neat but that you should document it properly so
other media players could add support for this without having to go
digging in the source code.

If I remembered correctly, you didn't see any point in making such
documentation since this was an Amarok feature and if other people
wanted to support it they could make their own implementation.  Might be
I misunderstood you though.

Maybe this is the norm for Amarok, but that doesn't mean it is the best
way to do it.

I doubt it's about honesty, it's more about adding some goodwill and
trying to understand the other side of the situation.  Both of you
should try to swollow some pride and see if you can't benefit from each
others expertise.

True.  It seems this issue suffers from a bad beginning.  How about you
both just let bygones be bygones and try to do something productive
about it?

Just my $0.02.
