===Allow users to add artist/album tags
If you allow members to add tags on each artist page, each artist can have its own cloud of tags. The bigger the tag in the cloud, the higher up the artist will be in a search for that tag.
===Categorising tags
Each artist can have a few categories of tags, such as "Genre", "Instrument", "Country", "Influences" etc. Then users can find bands more easily by searching for tags in each category.
==="Influences" tag category
Have a tag category called "influences" that users can add to each artist. This tag will be a mainstream artist that each user thinks is similar to the band in question, for example "Muse", "Madonna", "Moody Blues" etc. Then new users can search for the bands that they like and get bands that are similar. Just like Pandora!
===Jamendo Personal Music Player
A device like a personal music player. It would be very small and have WIFI or some other technology and a very simple interface.
It would store non of it's own music but would be connected to the web by WIFI or something similar and would allow the user to listen in a radio station style (eg popular tracks) to full albums or genres, random or whatever. They could jump around from track to track and have access to 1000's of albums without the need for storage. - ~phonicboom :)
reply:
Have you considered the Playstation Portable as device? It already features a web radio player that can be modified (using a third party radio module) to play songs from Jamendo.
If you know some javascript and some html, the task should be quite easy! - RexM
===Make dropdown to select the language of a review when you write one
Depending on my mood I sometimes write reviews in English or German. As I usually use the German interface some of my English reviews are displayed as "German". I'd like to have a way to fix this. - jamasi
===Possibility to send messages to all contacts without having to select them one by one
I'm often writing a single message to all of my contacts and the way it is right now it takes ages. I'd appreciate it if there was a Message to all contacts options. Thanks! -

===Search by (local) location
I'd like to be able to find local music, searching by country provides a huge list. Searching by city would be a great way to introduce people to bands they may be able to see and support live!
===Repository of Lyrics
Repoistory of Lyrics for Rhythmbox's lyrics plugins http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins
===Ogg direct download
Torrent download is very slow for ogg. insert direct download of ogg.
===JamPlayer - change "Played today"
Played today get's empty at midnight, which is a time i often listen to music. I'd like to have "today" mean the last 24 hours.
===Playlist - add single track
Include an "Add to playlist" button for individual tracks. Adding an entire album then deleting 12 songs is a pain. It would make it much easier to create good mixed playlists. I believe it was in old version, should be an easy fix.
