I started this message as a reply in another thread, but it has grown too
big, so I decided to start another thread.
If all this have already been discussed somewhere else - please point me
there.

I am wondering if we have a mutual vision of how the new LSP is going to
work?
For example I'd love to get something more like soundcloud where you can
subscribe to users, repost their tracks and have a stream of tracks from
whoever you have subscribed to. Also getting notifications about new
comments or reposts or subscribtions etc.
Manual looking for activity is a tedious task in old LSP, notifications and
social relations could bring this thing a new life.
Also private messages could be of much use.
How about getting more social and lively? And make it more game-like (how
high can you score?).
This is what Facebook's "likes" are - a simple game for status, for a place
in the hall of fame.
Also user avatars, descriptions and track images could be neat.
Oh, and the rigid categories for music styles seem like a poor concept -
the list will never be 100% complete for everyone. I missed a few ganres a
lot there myself. I think tags with a function to suggest related would be
much more flexible and fun.
It would also allow for "subscribe for a tag" - whenever someone posts a
track with "funky-dubstep" tag, I get that in my feed. Could be great for
discovering artists.
Random track of the day might be an option (Freesound style).
Also if we could provide some native audio previews/html5 Ogg playback/cool
waveform player, we could gather some users not running lmms, and even some
mobile users...
However, the artists would need to upload their renders of the tracks. I
guess the main problem here would be the amount of data to transfer,
process and store.
Is it worth it? What is the goal of LSP after all? To serve and build the
community of LMMS artists? I guess so. Maybe some stuff is not needed, as
long as LSP is not a "all around sound hosting service" but a place where
LMMS artists meet and cooperate, not focusing on the "outside world".
What say thou?
