Re: [Banshee-List] The album covers arent saved =/

[Gabriel Burt <gabriel burt gmail com>]

I'd recommend you work on a patch to Banshee.  :)  It should be pretty
easy (TagLib# already supports writing images to file, we (Banshee)
just don't use that yet).  Comment on that bug if you want some
pointers, I'd be happy to outline an approach I think would work well.
