I'll have a few thoughts at this too.
I happen to own a domain (http://audio-tracker.com) which I might want to
give a new destination. And this sounds like a fun project to do. :)
Although I miss the programming skills to make the necessary internal
changes to Amarok (if needed). I've had some thoughts so far about syncing
the Amarok database with the site and how neat that would be. Just
statistics, dynamic signatures and nothing more. Kinda like Audioscrobbler
(pre last.fm) used to do.
