[Banshee-List] album art support/audioscrobbler support

[Matthew Nicholson <sjoeboo sjoeboo com>]

firstly, great job with the 0.10.2 release. just compiled it and am
playing with it now. two things i want to mention:

1). audioscobbler/last.fm support: great job. rhythmbox added this and
i'm glad to see banshee is hot on its heals with it built in. one issue:
after i enabled it and played a song, i check to see if it submitted. it
was, but i got a warning that it was submitted with a date "ealier" than
my previously listened track (which is impossible). I don't know if this
was a one time error, something wrong with my system clock (not that i
can tell) or something with the plugin. in anycase, the song still
posted and everything, but i just thought i'd mention it.

2). album art support: i finnally got the see this. being home for
vacation my cd collection is nearby now, so i have audio cds to test
with. very nice indeed. i ask however, if this is working fine for cds,
why not enable it for the regular library? This is something I (and
others i'm sure) have wanted in banshee/rhythmbox for a while (and
banshee is much closer/seems to progress faster). what is holding this
up? is it figuring out how to store the album art after its fetched (id3
tag, a cover.png in the same folder etc)? If anyone could explain it to
me, it would be great.

hopefully with xmas approaching, i'll be getting my yearly gift
certificate to barnes and noble and can finally pick up a good book on
mono/C#. once i get that and have a chance to read through it, i can
start helping out with these issues and hepl make banshee and even
better media player.

thanks for all the great work and happy holidays.
