Description:
Many times I receive an email with an audio attachment, or open a CD containing pictures, audio files...
I like to listen to music with amaroK and I don't want to empty my playlist just to preview an audio file, so now I have those possibilities:
- "Open with" Kaboodle or other simple player (Kmail doesn't let me choose so may be not possible, and I don't like to open a music player just to preview a song).
- Mouse right click - "Action" - "Add to Amarok Playlist" (many "clicks" and I don't want to pollute my playlist, so I don't like this way).
- Mouse right click - "Properties" - "Preview" (too much complicated).
- Mouse right click - "Open in a New Tab" (this is not intuitive and I don't want to open a new tab just to preview a song).
So, I propose this idea for KDE4:
- If I do double click in an audio file in Konqueror (local, remote, http...), in a Kmail audio attachment or in any app there will appear a small applet in the panel called "Playing Audio Files".
- It will show audio file tags (if it has) as "Band" and "Song Title", a pause button, time bar and close option.
- It includes too a button to add the current song to amaroK playlist (or other predetermined player) and the option to empty or not the playlist.
In this way I don't need to open another app or pollute my playlist and it could be usable and intuitive.
The picture is based on the excellent proposal of Eriol for KDE4:

and the "Extender Mockup" of Caaz:

It could be an uniform style for KDE4.
