I have to say it's an overkill. I have like 20k entries in my RhythmDB and would be rather unhappy if I have to manually edit them. Wouldn't it be better to store such metadata either in Tracker or whatever metatacker one uses or to identify tracks by some UUIDs (eg. MusicDNS PUIDs) instead of simply location? Files like to move around, y'know and ratings are really precious data not to be lost under any circumstances. After all - you could just rerip your music and here it is again, but there's no way to resume your carefully tailored user prefs. -- Cheers, Piotr Gaczkowski _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
