    Hi,

    I had a question about architecture. Frans today posted a feature request
    (http://bugs.campware.org/view.php?id=625)that would enable a search of FreeDB for ID3 metadata for files in the
    StorageServer. With such a feature, a user would be able to search for ID3
    metadata on FreeDB given the title.

    While some stations may not find this useful, some others might like it
    quite a bit. So it sounds like this would be an optional feature. The
    question is: is the current LS architecture prepared for optional
    add-ons/plug-ins/whatever you like to call them? How would they be
    handled?
