Dear Banshee Developer

First of all i'd like to thank for the nice music player. From my point of view there are only a few things missing and
Banshee is going to be a masterpiece:


**Jump to the Artist be typing the fist character**
In the Artist-Window I'd like to type a L and jump to "Led Zeppelin". Even better if I could type a LO and jump to
"Logh".

**Sort an Artist's albums by year in the grid view**
This option is only effective in the track list. I'd like to have the albums sorted by year in the grid view as well.

**Easily search for a genre without typing it manually**
When i'd like to listen to my "Rock" songs I can search for the genre "Rock" by typing in "Rock" into the search box.
But how to I know that I have a "Balearic" song in my library? I'd like to have a drop-down list with every genre I have
in my library.

If these aren't already in bugzilla in some form they should be as enhancement requests.

**Refresh file and folder names**
I started to organize my library with Songbird and Songbird couldn't update file and folder name when the metadata was
changed. This option works pretty well now in Banshee. I like Banshee to rewrite ever folder and file name so everything
has the same pattern. I could re-import the hole bunch of music, but as I'm running out of disk space it would involve a external hard drive.

There is a bug requesting this enhancement but I can't remember the url

**Better integration of iPod**
I have an iPod classic 160gb and it is not recognized by Banshee. So I do the syncing with Rhythmbox, which does a great
job. I'd like to have better integration of iPods for example using libgpod and flac conversion on the fly.

1.7.5 will be the first release of Banshee to ship with our new hardware support which for Apple Devices is powered by libgpod-sharp. Please do retest after the 1st of September when 1.7.5 is scheduled for release.
