Seems like Aaron Bockover really dove into it after I’ve sent my patch to the list. He also made a redesign of the equalizer dialog and it looks extremly nice and clean. P.S: I’ve updated my Xine Engine to match the fixed frequencies behaviour in Banshee. [...] [...] A huge part of the equalization work is in CVS now.

I really love Banshee. The only problem I seem to have is with my AAC files imported in recent versions of iTunes. Banshee does not pick up the tags and the files, therefore do not show up in my library. I don't have the same problem with Rhythmbox, which I am told, uses GStreamer to get track information. Is there any sense this is where Banshee is headed as well? I am looking forward to the updates. I really love Banshee.

Also, yes, I'll be working on making DAAP IImportable. However, I honestly hate the Artist/Album browser. I think it is a total waste of space, and very little innovation went into its design. Thus, I am reluctant to add the feature. When the new view/model lands, this will be an easy thing to write, so I'm sure someone will do it. However, I have much bigger plans at that time for a UI that is much nicer, but does the same thing (filters your track list based on Artist/Album). Think tiles.

It actually quite nice to use everyday, and should be quite easy to implement: <a href="http://www.blackicelondon.com/njp/wmp11-tiles.PNG" rel="nofollow">http://www.blackicelondon.com/njp/wmp11-tiles.PNG</a> Also, what you can't see in the picture is that you can edit the properties of individual songs, or the album within the same view.
