What I'd like to see is a connection between rhythmbox and wikipedia. So, for instance, click on the artist name and it brings up the artist's wikipedia page in browser. This can be done by pulling the wikipedia URL out of musicbrainz (they have over 16k wikipedia references).

Heck, the drummer from Blur used to take Linux kernel sources _hardcopy_ on tour as reading material. And I'm pretty sure Trent Reznor has used FOSS software in some of his NiN recordings. In any case, have you thought about the license requirements for this sound?

If any of you are interested in firewire audio device support, you'll want to watch these bugzillas... libfreebob was submitted to FE. It's a userland driver library for many firewire audio devices: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205929 Once libfreebob is in, we need to add a BuildRequires: libfreebob-devel to jack-audio-connection-kit and rebuild. Then there's a patch for qjackctl, to enable the freebob driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205913 And, finally, libavc1394 needs to be updated in order to build libfreebob. This is the part I'm most concerned about since I don't know what it will take to get the maintainer to upgrade this library.

This should last a few minutes depending on the bandwidth and then you'll begin seeding them. (That's a 1Go+ download usually) The output isn't quite pretty yet, there's a rc2 out on sourceforge that fixes a few things. Some developers are joining us, there will be more stats and debug info in the next release :-) Tell us if you have any other problem, though Thanks!

Funny you should mention that. :) Haven't had much time to look at any actual plugins, but the version of Rhythmbox in Fedora Core 6 Test 3 (released this week) now handles m3u-based playlists correctly. I've got some more testing to do, but I think we could at least include some default playlists in FC6. Nothing certain yet, but it's possible. Given this news, I have two questions: 1. What tag-based streams would you recommend? 2. If we ship Jamendo turned on in Rhythmbox by default in FC6, and if we advertise this fact, will your servers be able to deliver the streams? How many users can you stream music to simultaneously? --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- From tompoe at fngi.net Sat Sep 16 04:12:18 2006 From: tompoe at fngi.net (tom poe) Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 23:12:18 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-music-list] playlist selection idea Message-ID: <450B79A2.8080907@fngi.net> There are many genres that have musicians and artists participating in mailing lists.

Can anyone make a wild guess as to how many around the world might be installing/upgrading to FC6? How about jamendo? How many hits a month is happening there, now?

I think currently we can stream to 1000+ users simultaneously. We can multiply this by 4 or 5 without much efforts if needed. Will the users be able to click on the artist/album name to check its jamendo page ?
