Support newer GStreamer ? by Anonymous George
great! by Anonymous George

Great job!

I really love rhythmbox, it is my main music player/library. The only thing I really would like to see added is gapless playing and crossover.

agree on the gapless playing

agree on the gapless playing part.

let's hope this is fixed in gstreamer0.10

tag manipulation

is there any plan to add tag manipulation for ogg or mp3 files?
i miss this feature much (maybe with internet database search)

thanks, good job ;)

Rpms?

The newest rpm I can find, is the 0.8.8 one. Do anybody know if a newer one exists?

Btw. this looks extremely nice. I've really been looking forward to podcast and DAAP support.

Re: Oh well

You might try rising above the grade two level and offer some constructive critisism. Also these people are doing this for free so a little maturity on your part might help.

I say well done RB developers and keep up the good work.
