Thanks Michal,

Can we vote for feature enhancements? This one has been open in 2008,
and doesn't seem to have gotten any attention from developers.

I would buy a beer (or two) to get this in banshee :)

Bribery while probably welcome isn't exactly voting :)

I admit that with regards to syncing I think we have more important issues to address right now. Syncing failing consistently when the podcast extension that fact that the whole library sync doesn't in fact ever end up with me having the exact same amount of tracks on my device as in my library. The baffling thing is that occasionally I end up with more music thanks to duplicates.

Since I have a lot of portable players I have been running Banshee through a small test matrix on them and performance isn't our big issue, correctness is. Right now syncing has a lot of problems.,
