Re: [Banshee-List] Problem building 1.5 from source

[rickstone <rhadenstone gmail com>]

Upon the first use of Banshee, the collection scanner built my collection
fairly quickly, but it did not add the album art.  No artwork shows up until
I play an album.  The explanation above makes sense, though it seems odd
that it would take so long to add artwork.  I keep my collection impeccably
tagged and correct artwork in the form of folder.jpg in every album folder. 
This problem doesn't occur on other players, just Banshee.

I'll be keeping an eye on Banshee...hopefully as the releases get closer to
2.0, more features will work correctly, etc., but 1.5 is definitely still
unusable for me.

Thanks for the feedback.
