Actually... that is on the roadmap. Suggested tag corrections, possible
song duplicates, misc. library cleanup, etc.
Library management is a must-have feature for me - it's definitely on the
roadmap. Bliss looks interesting, but I would like users to go through
minimal effort of setting up this media player in order to have this
feature. It's already somewhat complicated, since you have to install both
GB and mpd. I would like to avoid adding a 3rd component if possible.
I've already been pestering Max about whether a patch that adds ability to
edit tags would be welcome or not.
