What features would you like to see in upcoming versions of LimeWire? We're already making good progress on the automatic re-query feature and on better integrating metadata into the result view. (So you can see bitrates next to speeds, etc.) Here are some new ideas:

1. LimeWire used to display an estimate of the number of searchable hosts, as well as the number and total size of searchable files. With protocol changes, this has become harder to do accurately. Leaf nodes are totally incapable of estimating the horizon. This could change if we introduced a new protocol message.

2. LimeWire used to have a feature to browse the contents of another user's computer. So if you liked a search result, you could see other files being shared by that user. We took it out many versions ago because it didn't work right. But we could re-implement properly it with some effort.

3. If a host has no more upload slots, it could queue people requesting the file and service transfers in a fair manner. The host could even give you an estimate of the amount of time until you can download the file. ("There are 3 people ahead of you, with an estimated wait time of 92 minutes.")

4. LimeWire allows you to sort search results by name, size, etc., but it does not do this dynamically. That is, if you sort by name, results added afterwards are not sorted. Dynamic result sorting would be particularly useful for making high-quality search results "float" to the top of the result list.

5. The library could visually organize your shared files by metadata such as file type, artist, genre, etc. Most likely it would show a number of "virtual directories" to do this.

6. LimeWire already has an integrated MP3 player. We could make it play videos and other audio format as well. We could also increase the performance of the player substantially or add other features.

Of course we'd like to implement them all of these features, but we have limited resources. So vote for your favorite and we'll try to implement the most popular ones.
