Cool! :-)

We have not really prioritized those ideas in any way. One of the
reasons for this is that the success of a GSoC project to a very large
ectend depends on the motivation of the student, and the best
motivation comes from working on something that you yourself care
about. So really, you should choose the idea that you feel the most
like working on.

Well, lets hear them! The we can try to comment on how usable and
feasible they are! :-) Remember, the ideas on the wiki are just that,
some ideas that we came up with to give people an idea bout the kinds
of projects that are possible within the scope of Amarok. If you think
you have a better idea, or onw you would much rather work on, that is
perfectly fine too.
