First off I really like amarok and use it a lot: much better than every other Linux music player I\'ve tried.

I do have a feature request though:

Currently I have three computers, each with seperate music collections all sat on my LAN. For amarok to have all three in it\'s collection I believe I have to mount the drives on the box playing the music using .

What if instances of amarok could talk to other instances of amarok, using each local collection to provide one big collection. Then, when my local amarok requested a song not local to the machine, the remote amarok would stream it/send it temporarily. That way the need for configuring network disks would vanish, giving the end (dumb) user much less to do?

Any thoughts?

is also interesting. The only bad thing is that from what I understand, the engine has to support the kio slave for playback.
Alternative amarok can download the tracks you want to play to a temp directory, point the engine to that location, and delete it when done with it.
