Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee doesn't show metadata when playing a streamed flac file

lfreeze, Mac,

Please try first to see if you can reproduce it with a non-FLAC format 
file, to discard this circumstance of the problem or to associate it 
with it.

I have the impression, though, that as you're talking about managing 
music from more than one computer, you're simply craving for this 
feature to be implemented:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659719

(After that is fixed, LibraryWatcher could be improve to do that 
operation out of the box, without the need of performing a Rescan Music 
Library operation.)
