Interesting idea - so you can select a group of untagged and unnamed files, 
and it will find the exact match on freedb? How reliable is this? (coming from 
somebody who knows little about freedb internals)

If the two functions are that similar, it may be worth creating a shared 
function which both use (makes future maintenance easier).

I'm sure Jerome will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the GTK1 
version is being worked on any more. You may wish to try writing it against 
the GTK2 (development) version. I don't think there is any public CVS, but if 
its any use, I upload all the patches that I send in to here:
