Hi Charlotte, I find your project interesting, especially for the "tempo" variable. However I think that such plugin can't be really rely on id3 tag informations, most because everybody class its music in a different way. I give you an example, U2's music genre could be "Pop/Rock", "PopRock", "Pop" or just "Rock" or whatever... Therefore, I think that genre variable should bettere be relied on an external source like last.fm. Actually, Alexandre Rosenfeld has already issued a plugin based (quite) on the same principle: Last.fm Dynamic Tracks (have a look on rhythmbox site). I suggest you to have a look at it in order to see if you can use some features from it. enjoy, ;) giopas -- "The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way. If the runners forget why the reward is offered and become intent on winning, no matter how, they may find other strategies--such as, attacking other runners. If the runners get into a fist fight, they will all finish late." (GNU manifesto/R.
