At the moment it's OK, but should be better use before the images stored into the tags and if not exists download it somewhere over the rainbow...

But IMHO there is a big limitation, banshee *can't rock* without the "genre/artist/album browser", this is my opinion, at the moment I have a library of about 1000 songs, and without this feature I'm lost! Sorry for this comment, but remember I really like banshee ;) Hi, in this two days I’ve used banshee often (http://www.last.fm/user/xoen/) and I love it, now is more stable and faster than the previous release…

I'm pretty sure my email address is really easy to find. A+ for that move! b) I mailed you in July specifically about the re-licensing of this file, to which you replied you had no issues with relicensing it, provided it was okay with Jorn. I'll forward you your reply if you wish! c) This code isn't even used in Banshee, so thanks for helping me clean up the tree just a little more. I'll remove it shortly. d) We licensed Banshee under MIT because well, it doesn't bother us to use a more liberal license, and of course it's much easier to work with proprietary codec licenses.

Compare: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/muine/src/SignalUtils.cs http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/banshee/src/SignalUtils.cs I don't know whether the GPL permits linking with MIT code but I am guessing not. Perhaps relicensing under the MIT license would prevent the legal problem with using GStreamer MP3 plugins that was all the debate about a year ago (most were saying we should relicense Muine under the LGPL). However, as it stands, Banshee is in violation of copyright law and this needs to be remedied. Email me to discuss this problem.
