Can you point us to where this was discussed?  A lot has changed with
Banshee's metadata support in the last two years (with about
everything in Banshee, really), so this might no longer be broken.  Or
if it is, we can reconsider a compatibility shim.

Where were you told that?  (Bugzilla, or mailing list, or? URL would
be great).  We generally have quite a friendly, helpful community, so
I apologize you weren't responded to in a helpful way.
