I code for fun. Because of the shitty economy (and because I suck) I can't seem to code for a living. While riding out the storm, I've been looking for projects* to do to beef up my portfolio for awhile now. The thing is, I don't really have any ideas/needs of my own that I'd like to work on, aside from my own game stuff, so I'd prefer to do something helpful for others.

So I'm posing the question: Are there any programs/tools/sites that you wish the VGM community had? Could be anything big or small, just so long as it fills a need.

*Some of you may be aware if you hang out/lurk over at VGMdb that I did the freedb server recently. It was a blast and I wish I could have done more for that site, but I have a feeling that's the last project I'll be involved with.

I'm still looking for someone to get an album art downloader working.  Ideally, there would be a plugin for foobar2000 that could scan my library/playlists, figure out which albums I have (by comparing titles, track/album length, or something else), and then go out to a server like VGMdb and populate all the correct up-to-date tag information as well as the album art, rename the files and folders, etc.  I don't know about anyone else, but I've always thought of foobar2000 to be the best player for VGM enthusiasts, so that's why I'm suggesting someone make the plugin for it rather than something like Winamp or iTunes.

PhantomSnake's Let's Tag is the closest thing to that.  And while I think that program is amazing and handy as hell, getting album art and tag info from it is still a manual process.  When you combine a manual process like that with hundreds of albums, you run into a huge time commitment.  Your freedb server works great with EAC but I don't think it's been shown to work with any other program yet (like foobar2000), right?  What we need is a plugin that combines the best of Let's Tag with your freedb functionality w/ the addition of grabbing album art.
