Something else I've been thinking about is a
low-quality "preview" that
can work inside a browser, so folks can listen to the contents of a
loop before they download. This would be another good reason for a
dedicated client, since the preview function could be built-in. The
hard part would be generating the preview to begin with. Could this be
a server-side function (i.e., when you upload the file, it makes the
preview file as a 24kbps Ogg or somesuch)? Any thoughts?
Dedicated clients are bad, this can be made to work in a browser easily.
It wouldn't be hard to add a script to the server to make it produce
preview versions of the file.
I can donate bandwidth, server space, metadata and/or database experience,
but not much time :(
