Gather all Ubuntu One options in one place.  
Written by b3t0n the 8 Nov 09 at 08:03. New
Ubuntu One is a great feature, with great future ahead. However, to make full use of it, user has to look for the applications that support synchronising instead of seeing them in one place. For example - to sync my contacts in evolution I have to create a new address book that uses couchdb and transfer all the contacts that I want to tore in the cloud.

It is completly illogical, because user that wants to use Ubuntu One to sync his data would rather look for the option in one specific place, than look in every app and check if it supports Ubuntu One.

Solution #1: Put all sync options in Ubuntu One's preferences.
Written by b3t0n the 8 Nov 09 at 08:03.
Preferences is the first place, that user will check to see what can he do with Ubuntu One. Let's add a new tab which lists all applications that support Ubuntu One (the ones that are installed should be active and the ones that aren't installed yet should still be enlisted but inactive).

That way the moment user opens preferences window, he will see what he can do with One besides storing his files in the cloud.

Give Sound Juicer the same encoding options as Sound Converter  
Written by Xero Xenith the 4 Jan 09 at 20:38. New
Sound Juicer and Sound Converter are very similar apps, with one ripping CDs and the other converting sound files to other formats. Sound Converter gives users an easy way to choose, where they pick which format, then they get a nice guided way to choose the quality. However, Sound Juicer (the CD ripper) does not, and relies on profiles, which are very difficult to modify.

For example, the "CD quality, MP3" preset gives me 128kbps MP3s. Nowhere near CD quality, so I decided to try and change it. There's no easy GUI option; you have to change the command line parameters! All the help you are given is this:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux

I figured out you had to change the vbr-quality to around 2 to get what I wanted. Not intuitive at all. On the other hand, the SoundConverter interface was intuitive and easy.

I propose Sound Juicer switches to Sound Converter's format choosing layout.

Different Sound Mixer  
Written by Prominence the 15 Sep 08 at 03:47. New
Wasn't sure what to name this exactly, but the idea is to get a volume mixer for Ubuntu that is like Vista's (don't stop reading hear me out, this isn't another Make-Ubuntu-like-[insert name of OS here] thing.)

Like how you could control individual applications and their volumes or mute them. I loved this, mute Firefox and continue playing your music or something. Just an idea.

Multiple CD Album ripping - continuous track numbers  
Written by fluteflute the 7 Oct 08 at 17:54. New
Whilst media players such as Rhythmbox are able to cope with the disc number metadata (and play tracks in the correct order), other devices/programs such as MP3 players which use sorted filenames play all the track ones, then all the track twos, etc.

With albums with multiple CDs I would like the track number vaules for the subsequent CDs to not start again at '1' but continue. This functionality would only be enabled when the value in 'disc' is greater than one. Then the previous CD's ripped files could be looked at to find the track number needed to start on.
