Re: [Banshee-List] Are better Last.fm filters possible?

[Wade Menard <wade ezri org>]

Your request is better voiced on the last.fm forums but I will say  
that what you want (stricter filtering) is not possible due to record  
label licences. The incorrect tags is another thing as thatis up to  
users. A moderation system has been talked about in the past as well.
