Hi there. at the moment im using a lot meego on my tablet and its fine. but i have still just a 4GiB SSD. So music.google.com is a nice service for me, because i can upload my music from the desktop and can play it everywere, thanx to html5. But the problem is that music over the browser sucks a los.

I know there is amarok mobile plan so maybe its a good idea to add a backend for googlemusic and on the desktop is would be nice too

google music is an uploadservice for your musiccollection. after the upload you can login on the website and hear all about your music and can get new, free music from google.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Expected Results:
amarok should have a googlemusic library plugin :)

An unofficial API has been created for Google Music that should simplify this request:

I might take ownership of this, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time, and I don't know python (nor amarok internals, actually, but I'm pretty used to KDE development).
If someone wanna help, that would be much better.

Well, Amarok doesn't use Python but Qt/C++, so you might reconsider :)
To know more about Amarok, check the source at http://projects.kde.org/amarok and drop by in #amarok on irc.freenode.net or write to the <email address hidden> mailing list.

Well, I know, I even did small contributions back in version 1.4...I was referring to Google Music unofficial API (Python).
I think it would be difficult to use them, I'll have to make a port

Has one of you bothered to check the API for Google Music? If that is not compatible with GPL this is unlikely to happen. So it would be nice if you folks could do some investigation on that side already, instead of voting for this request without even knowing if it is doable :)

Do you mean google REST API interface, or the python unofficial API library?
The first one is undocumented, so it doesn't have a license, but being a web service, I don't think you have to worry about license.
The second isn't GPL, but again, we don't have to link against it (and actually, we can't, being python), so license shouldn't be an issue either.

Still, I'm not a license expert, so I'd need some confirmation.

It is not only the license but also the general ToS: we need to be compatible, and this is often rather difficult for Free Software.
