While discussing my SoC project with a friend, I learned of a new feature in iTunes 8.1 called DJ. Basically, this lets any iPhone users that can get on your network vote for the next N songs to play. So, I thought..hmmm…perhaps this is something that could be integrated into Banshee after I get the Telepathy extension done?
I envision a group of IM users subscribed to stream a single user’s library maybe using UPnP AV or something. Then, the users can vote on the next N songs that will be played. Perhaps the play queue could be used to store the next N songs. In my opinion, that would be pretty cool.
