Great.  I'll download that tonight.  Look forward to trying it out.

Nice !

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?

Hm, I don't know... There are so many of them... rock / classical / metal / reggae / electronica / jazz ? I'm sure I forgot some important ones ;) the best option would be to let the user choose of course!

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?

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 ?

Thanks!
