This is my first "-devel" mailing list entry. I hope it's not too lengthy...
I know somebody said something on this list about a patch or something to import the iTunes Library into Rhythmbox (read it in the Archive). I wonder if anything has come of that?! I've been using iTunes ever since it became available for Windows and only a week ago migrated to linux as main operating system - and I love it! Rhytmbox is great! Keep up the good work. Anyway, while using iTunes I have entered ratings for several thousand music files - it would be a shame to lose all that. When working, I like to listen to Music from an automated Playlist that contains only songs with 4 or 5 stars. I've checked out the XML-Version of the iTunes Library and compared it to rhythmdb.xml and found that iTunes saves <key>Title</key><string>New Song</string> while rhythmbox saves <title>New Song</title>. Since the iTunes Library also contains only one entry per line, i would imagine that you could accomplish a lot with a script passing the file through sed, but sed is (as of yet) too cryptic for me to get it done. I'm guessing you could do s/key\>// and s/\<\/key><string// to put the opening tag but i don't know how to close the tag at the end of the line... Also, is it possible to configure rb to have a default rating of zero (0) Stars, so that you can tell apart the songs you haven't rated (yet) and those that you rated with 3 stars? Anyway, hope this isn't total random nonesense and maybe someone remembers what became of that possible patch.
