G'day everyone, On behalf of the Rhythmbox developers, I'm happy to announce a new release, Rhythmbox 0.9.7 "I love Perth", is out. This release includes several new Internet-related features which let you discover new music, listen to things you like, and improve your batting average.
What is Rhythmbox? ------------------ Rhythmbox is an integrated music management application, originally inspired by Apple's iTunes. It is free software, designed to work well under the GNOME Desktop, and based on the powerful GStreamer media framework. MagnaTune --------- The first of these is a new plugin which provides integration with the MagnaTune online music store. MagnaTune lets you listen to entire tracks before purchasing them, provides a variety of DRM-free formats including Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, lets you choose how much you are willing to pay for an album, and has a "don't be evil" policy. The plugin lets you browse the store from within Rhythmbox, open "Artist info" pages in your browser, and purchase albums (no Credit Card details are stored). Last.fm Radio ------------- Rhythmbox has had the ability to "scrobble" played tracks to your last.fm account for quite a while, but it now also has the ability to play last.fm radio streams. Supported streams currently include: Neighbour Radio, Similar Artists, Tagged Tracks, Artist Fan radio, and Group Radio. Dependencies ------------ The only dependency change for this release is that iPod support now requires libgpod 0.4.0, as it contains vital bug fixes. Also included in this release ----------------------------- * Inhibit computer suspending while playing music * More support for broken podcast feeds * Displays a placeholder for missing cover art * Winning back The Ashes * Asking the user when MusicBrainz reports multiple albums * Support for gconfaudiosink's "music and movies" profile As well as the usual variety of minor improvements and bug fixes.
