Speaking of new features... I have one simple one to suggest, make sure
the OGG tagging for Album Artist will read the tags written by
Rhythmbox.  Banshee looks really nice, but I'm sure that many people
like me have hundreds of CD's ripped with Rhythmbox, and although I
agree after looking at the actual tags, Banshee is "more correct"... it
would still seem logical to allow people to switch to banshee without
having to re-tag or re-rip thousands of tracks.
