This are the results of ferai and aumuell chatting on IRC on 9 July 2007.

Integration into Collection
- Show device contents as another collection in collection browser
- Hopefully provide a combined view of all collections
- Use d'n'd for copying to media devices
- Hide transfer queue from user, start transfers immediately in a background thread

Make media devices kio based
- provide access to all music tracks as files
- handle playlists, stats, ... as special files (e.g. text files containging key:value pairs)
- this should provide a generic interface to all devices
- device specific code will go into kio slave only
- phonon will play all music on any media device

Playlist handling
- Provide option to 'copy' and to 'sync' regular playlists
- Delete tracks from the device if a playlist is synced and if it is not on any other playlist
- Create a special 'Keep this' playlist for manually copied stuff
