Everything you always wanted to know about writing Amarok 2 service scripts ...

With the release of Amarok 2 growing closer and with such cool scripted services as NPR, BBC and Free Music Charts being recently released ( if you have a recent version of Amarok 2 , all of these services can be installed simply by going to the script manager, clicking the "Get More Scripts" button, and clicking install on the scripts you want ), we are starting to receive quite a few questions about how to start writing a cool service script for any number of on-line content sources.

This finally got me to take the time to do something I should have done a long time ago: start writing a guide. So, if you want to write an Amarok 2 service script, check out the scripted services tutorial on the Amarok wiki.

So, if you have a favorite website that provides freely available audio content, writing a service script is a great way to make this accessible to a large number of new users!
