GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142287
Use RSS feeds for playlists
Last modified: 2006-07-23 13:12:06 UTC
I would like a tool that would leverage online repositories of music that is distributed under liberal licenses (like the Open Music License or the Creative Commons licenses). Places like the Open Music Registry (http://www.openmusicregistry.com) or Magnatune (http://magnatune.com). These sites sometimes post RSS feeds of newly submitted music, and I would like to itegrate these feeds with rhythmbox to automate my discovery of new works. I envision a mechanism where I can specify "playlists" that refer to one or more RSS feeds. Rhythmbox would then periodically update the playlist from those feeds, download the music, and make them available for play rotation. The user should be able to delete unwanted tracks, "blacklist" artists they don't enjoy, and even "blacklist" music categories. The unwanted music won't show up in the play rotation for this playlist, even when new works are available.
That would be podcast support.
http://www.openmusicregistry.com/ is now closed though.
rhythmbox now have podcast support, seems this bug can be closed
Closing as per last comments.
