something I would love to work on) and work with the mailing
list to add fuctionality to better support the user's needs.  Personally, I
would like for Amarok (or at least an option) to display songs in
compilation albums under both the artist and various artists when the
collection contains other songs by that artist.

I would love to get any feedback or suggestions before I submit a proposal.
(Especially from Jud, Jan, and Stuart!)  Suggestions for extensions and
added functionality are welcome as well.  If anyone prefers to communicate
via irc, my username on freenode is kevlar0, and I should be in both the
#amarok and #kde-devel channels.  I am also open to using Gmail's chat (
kevinlarson1 at gmail.com) or aim (trulyunknown1).

Thanks,
Kevin Larson

Hey,<br>I was looking over the SoC projects and saw various artist
support in Amarok as one of the options.=A0 I have loved Amarok since the m=
oment I first used it and would love give back to such a great project.=A0 =
Various artist support jumped
out as something I would love to see improved.=A0 I have been reading over =
the mailing list archives and looking over various artist related bugs in t=
he bug tracker to get a good idea what I'm working with.=A0 First, what=
 I would like to do is work through most/all of the bugs that are not simpl=
y wishlist items.=A0 One example I would love to fix was the presence of du=
plicate copies of songs/albums such as: <a href=3D"https://bugs.kde.org/sho=
w_bug.cgi?id=3D172953">Bug 1792953</a>.=A0 Another was to have Amarok maint=
ain the users position in the collection as stated in <a href=3D"https://bu=
gs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D166841">Bug 166841</a>.=A0 I would also like t=
o make various artist support an option when grouping by artist->album, =
as suggested by Jan Holthius in the Dec 2008 mail archives. =A0 <br>
<br>From there I can work on wishlist items in the bug tracker (<a href=3D"=
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D173493">Bug 173493</a> jumps out as =
something I would love to work on) and work with the mailing list to add fu=
