[Rhythmbox-devel] Proposal for first-generation Musicbrainz integration

[Joshua Haberman <joshua haberman com>]

I don't think it would take major change or major effort to have
extremely useful first-generation support for Musicbrainz.  Here is my
proposal:

1. allow tag editing in the song properties window.  This can't be too
difficult:
    - the UI already supports it since the text boxes look editable
    - the backend streaminfo API is already there:
        (monkey_media_stream_info_set_value())
How hard it is to connect the two?

2. In the properties dialog, add a button called something like "Ask
Musicbrainz" that queries the server and fills in whatever values it
finds.

What obstacles are there to a simple level of musicbrainz integration
like this?
