Clementine wasn't accepted to GSoC as a mentor organisation this year, but we'll keep this list of ideas here anyway for reference.

- Adding some quick-search bar (like Google Suggest) that would let a user search the library and quickly start playing a new song.
- Doing some cool effects on systems that support it, like [blur-behind on Windows Vista and Windows 7](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969537(v=vs.85).aspx).

### Moodbar
@ -82,9 +78,9 @@ Amarok supports something called a [Moodbar](http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Moodbar)
There is already a gstreamer plugin for analysing a song and generating the moodbar data, so it would be quite easy to implement in Clementine which already uses gstreamer for its playback. As an extension, a student could look at ways to improve or change the [Moodbar algorithm](http://cratoo.de/amarok/ismir-crc.pdf) to make it produce more visually pleasing output.

- Rip tracks from CDs, encode them to mp3 (or flac, ogg, etc.) and save them to the library. Again, GStreamer can already do the ripping and the transcoding, the difficult bit will be plugging everything together and making it work nicely in Clementine's interface.
- Burning tracks to CDs. This will require using the platform's native CD-burning APIs (like [IMAPI on Windows](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa939967.aspx)), or running external CD-burning programs (like Brasero or K3B on Linux).

### Make it pink
One of Clementine's oldest and most critical bugs is that [it is not pink](http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=219). Giving a Clementine a brand new, pink, interface (with a sparkle feature and, of course, a cat) would be a perfect project!

- Letting the user subscribe to individual podcasts. Clementine should then check the podcast for updates at some predetermined interval, download the newest items, make them available in a list in the GUI somewhere (probably the "Internet" tab) and finally show a notification telling the user that new stuff is available.
- Optional: automatically sync new items in the podcast to removable devices (iPods). Users would be able to plug in their device and Clementine would automatically copy new files to it, and optionally delete ones from the device that had been listened to, or were older than a certain date.
