Hi...

I might be slightly off topic, dunno, but it would be nice if Banshee could handle symlinks in the library (as RhythmBox does). That really gives more freedom for the user while still keeping only one folder as a library.
Actually, this along with a previous message about compilation artists being "forgotten" made me come back to Rhythmbox.
I really do love Banshee, but if I can't use it, well... :)

'hope those two features will be available soon; I'll definitively be a  happy Banshee user.
