Hi all!

I love Amarok!! I listen to music more often since I\'ve installed it. Allow me to make some suggestions that I came across while using it:

- Considering the \"Transfer to\"-Script: If a file is transferred to a usb-Device, one should have the choice, to copy it in the devices\' root folder or a folder artist/album generated by the tags of the song in question.

- The \"Transfer to\"-Script is really nice, however, It would be an improvment, if transferring a Track to a bluetooth device would be supported. Same thing with the folders above applies.

- Goes into the same directiction: The Podcast-capabilities of Amarok are very handy. I suggest, Amarok should automatically download new podcasts from the web and copy them onto a specified bluetooth-device, once the device comes in range. (the kde bluetooth framework seems to feature such a detection, since there is the \"kopete-away\" function in it). I imagine leaving the house in the morning, knowing that amarok copied the morning nes onto my cell phone for later listening would be very nice.

Kind regards and keep up the good work!!

The media device framework provides all you wish for. You just have to write the plugin for transferring to bluetooth devices.

Hi! Can you provide me some guides or hints on how to implement this feature? I\'m a C++ programmer but I dont\'t know anything about kde and amarok develoment. I\'m interested in implementing this if I would be able to find some time.

I\'m not sure if I would still be needing the bluetooth support. I intend to use it on my phone (N6680) and I found a workaround. I used p3nfs (http://www.koeniglich.de/p3nfs.html) to mount the phone and used the mountphone script (http://groups.google.com/group/p3nfs-us ... f542b354f6) to automate it. I then installed usb_device_amarokscript (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=35156) in amarok and used the phone\'s mount point as the script\'s mount point. However, I did not use the script\'s mounting and unmounting capabilities and did it manually.
