Some ideas: - more data sources and types of information to display (such as similar artists) - a tab with links to various sites (wikipedia, discogs, musicbrainz, ..) for artists and albums - artist/album/lyrics tabs in song info windows (at which point the context plugin can eat the lyrics plugin) - personal play history/rating statistics _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
