Hi, I have found it weird that Amarok is an open source project, but supports better last.fm than libre.fm, which is indeed the oss version of last.fm. As far as I understood, this is because of the big intersection between Amarok and last.fm developers. As you probably know, Amarok's support for libre.fm is limited to a script that allows only scrobbling, see http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Scrobbling_to_Libre.fm I was thinking of writing a plugin that would add out of the box support for all the features already implemented in libre.fm (basically scrobbling and listening) and that would be ready for future libre.fm features. Notice that Rythmbox in Gnome already does this. The project doesn't look hard, since the plugin will look very similar to the last.fm one, and the libre.fm community seems enthusiastic about it. However, it's the first time that I put my hands on Amarok code. In fact it's the first time that I am involved in a open source project at all. This is why I thought about applying with this idea to Season of Kde. Leo Franchi on the IRC channel suggested me to first find a mentor, which is why I wrote on this list. I believe that the ideal mentor would be someone that was involved in the development of the amarok-lastfm service. Any takers?
Best, Alessandro ----- #zimba12 on freenode https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~acosenti/ http://identi.ca/cosenal _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
