This piece of software is outstanding, especially the "fetch all covers from amazon" feature! And a little question right after that: Do you plan to integrate the AmarokFS app? I think that's for sure a very cool simple app that should be easy to integrate!

Hi Tom,
We are currently recreating Amarok to be used under the Qt4/KDE4
technologies. As a result of this, we aren't really taking new
features until we iron out the porting effort. Additionally, the 1.4
branch is stable and won't be introducing any major new features as
Guitar Tab fetching.

For your aims, I would recommend writing a lyrics script, so that
instead of fetching the words to a song, it instead fetches and
displays the guitar tabs. I believe one may have existed a while ago,
but I cannot find it.

For an introduction in Script writing, have a read here:

All the best,
Seb
