Solution #1: Create a sounds variety for the system.
Written by ermegabait the 19 Jun 12 at 00:51.
Create a variety of sounds for some events using Ubuntu:
-Error
-Exclamation
-New mail
-New software updates available
-Task end (for example end for a disk search or a move file operation)
They can be made by the look and feel Ubuntu community.

Add Shoutcast support in Rhythmbox  
Written by RoaringPenguin the 1 Apr 08 at 16:36. Global category: Multimedia. In development
I would like to see support for Shoutcast Internet Radio stations added to Rhythmbox.

This is currently my favorite feature in Amarok, Rhythmbox's KDE equivalent. Rhythmbox's Internet Radio selection is rather pathetic in comparison and the current configuration forces me to hunt down the address of and add each of my favorite stations individually, rather than searching the entire station listing internally as with Amarok.

With proper MTP support being added with Hardy, I am finally able to use my MP3 player with Linux again. I have switched back to Rhythmbox, but find myself missing this feature. Perhaps this could be handled in a layout similar to the LastFM plugin?

Thank you.

DAAP music sharing  
Written by motang the 5 Jun 09 at 21:42. Global category: Multimedia. Already implemented
Increasingly more and more people are starting to have more than one computer in their house and the would like to share music across them. Easiest way to do that would be with DAAP. From what I hear iTunes comes with that. Banshee and Rhythmbox support that out of the box but what if you run Ubuntu on all your computers where iTunes isn't available for.

Solution #1: Tangerine Music Sharing
Written by motang the 5 Jun 09 at 21:42.
Simple fix, install Tangerine Music Sharing. This is a very small program that runs a DAAP server on the computer and lets you share music with other computers. You can specify what folder to share and even have it ask for a password. This would be nice to have this installed by default for people who are new comers to Ubuntu.

P.S. Oh and would be nice to rename it Music Share (or something that "human beings" would recognise).

Adobe Flash Player 10 as default for Ubuntu 8.10  
Written by blitziken the 16 Oct 08 at 16:29. Related project: Flash plugin (macromedia). Won't implement
I think it would be a great idea, it's been released recently (http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/), and seems to be better than it predecessors. We all know the problems that Flash has been giving to Ubuntu. I hope it could resolve them.

Developer comments
This will definitely not be installed as default (since non-free) but the version 10 will be available in the repository.

Team that works to keep all software in repos up to date.  
Written by bradwjensen the 14 Mar 08 at 06:47. Global category: Multimedia. New
Many times I see a new exciting or simple version Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Etc. out, but I know it will be forever until it shows up in the repositories.. Sometimes until a new version of Ubuntu comes out.

I believe Ubuntu should have a team of people which do not much more than make sure as much of the extra user software is up to date with what's coming out..

So when Firefox beta 5 comes out (say, in the morning) it should likely be in the Repos by the second night if not sooner..

Create a way for users and software creators to contact the team with a simple Instant Message or E-mail stating they have a new update.
