That is planned, in fact, I'm pondering to save the subscriptions in
an OPML by default.

There was a user in #amarok who was interesting in creating a service
for browsing and searching the digitalpodcast.com directory. They
offer a REST interface (basic HTML get/post). That would be very easy
to do using nhnfreespirit's Service Framework. perhaps that brave soul
will soon send a patch to the amarok mailing list.

Similar to the Cool Streams category in 1.4 we could do that.
