Buddylist

I know that some of those features are already possible with Kopete.

But most of them are music-related (!) and not just some kind of messaging.
Also, I see no reason why a music-player such as Amarok should not move
towards a social-networking-kinda-music-player thing...actually, it already
does, when I see what they do with the last.fm integration stuff.

At least sharing of playlists, podcasts, radio-feeds and such with others
INSIDE amarok would be cool...you listen to a song or podcast and can just
right-click on it and send a suggestion to another Amarok user right
away...I really think such features would be great for Amarok 2.0!

And why would the bt-protocol not work for the mentioned case? Allpeers does
exactly this with the bt-protocol and it works like a charm, although it's
still in beta stage.

I just see no reason why Amarok should not head to be a personal music
player that makes it possible to enjoy music in a kind of network and share
stuff with your friends. I'm not saying you should add non-music related
stuff and I don't want to turn Amarok into a second myspace/last.fm or
filesharing-network either...but having the possibility to do some of the
suggested features right in the player would be a great thing!
