That's why we need to make extensive test for this new release of Banshee.

All the messages are in English. Probably it's because of the executable's file name change. BTW, do translators have to be reading the mailing list to be aware of upcoming releases?

There have been a lot of string changes, so I'm sure the coverage isn't as great is at used to be. @Alexandre: i18n never left.

The fact is that there are many useful tags that users could want to use and search for. For me, it's the "version" tag, but maybe for another it would be the "language" tag or the "license" tag (What if I want to search for Italian songs that are licensed under Creative Commons?). The metadata indexing system should be flexible and allow to search for any metadata present in files. But enough whining. The job you guys have done is really awesome, keep up the good work :) Aaron, this one was merely an example. The fact is that there are many useful tags that users could want to use and search for.

It's actually not a support forum. @Henry: Genre exists, but there is still an unfinished portion of the new list view that doesn't allow you to see all of the columns. It'll be addressed in a subsequent alpha release. @Arthrun: It's not a limitation of the query support - it searches any column in our database. However, we don't index _every_ single tag in files. Maybe we should index that one. File a bug. @cryptonic: I suggest filing a bug report instead of using my blog. It’s actually not a support forum.

For example, how can I do to search for all tracks that have the "version" tag set to 'instrumental'?
