A plugin for http://www.allofmp3.com that enables Amarok to buy/download tracks from Allofmp3 (basically any store, for that matter) based on suggestions (perhaps given by audioscrobbler), and add to the current playlist.

A song (192kbit Vorbis) from Allofmp3 costs roughly €0.08, so fast click-and-buy options could greatly add to the experience of Amarok.

Wasn\'t there some copyright issues recently discussed at court about this \"service\"? We should be careful about such issues, also lyric-sites were in the focus lately.

But the main problem might be an interface to use the functions of the store, I guess. (see discussions about cover fetching alternatives to amazon)

Why not just make a link somewhere \"Buy now from Amazon\" ? or the other people who enjoyed this cd also got....

That\'s just like ads in your application. Who wants this? Even Audioscrobbler does not have such a thing at its website.
I believe this would be a very seldom used feature (i would not use it BTW).

This seems to be sensible to implement as script, given enough DCOP api about suggestions provided.

And idea about lyrics:
kde have various gg:-like stubs, say, ggi:text resolves to request to google images.

If list of such stubs is accessible and writable, why not add lyrc.com.ar as lyrc:, make user able to choose from stubs list, and make lyrc: default.

That will be easily solve lyrics problem.

to choose from stubs list, and make lyrc: default.

That\'s easy, just have a look into your konqueror -> Configure -> Web Shortcuts.
There you find the settings for searching.

Enjoy.

Idea behind this is to make *amaroK* add lyrc: short-cut, and just place lyrc: url into lyrics tab. making \"lyrc:\" one configurable.

Problem here is that lyrics request is not flat, it requires artist and song name.
