Hello all,
With the integration of Wikipedia, you began to construct the next generation
of music players.
But well, we can go even further...
An idea I just thinked to: when a music group that a user have in his library
release a new album, Amarok should show a popup message to inform the user.
So it keep people the task of regularily visit each group website to see if
there is a new album to buy.
Every week or so, Amarok lists every music groups/authors the user has in his
collection.
For each group, it goes to a site in the background, and search if there is a
new album that is now out.
If yes, it show a message like that:
Group 1
New Album 1
New Album 2
Group 2
New Album 3
User can select a group and click the following buttons for that group:
Visit Website...
Not Interested in this Group
=> To not show any notification for that group the user is not interested in
buying new albums.
Or he can select an album and click the following buttons:
More Information...
=> To popup a dialog with full information and showcase image
Buy on Amazon
=> Or any other configurable website
At any time in the Configuration dialog, the user can disable that feature or
see a list of every groups and he can check every groups to tell if he is
intersted of not.
Best regards,
Sébastien Laoût.
