Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Album Art

[Yo'av Moshe <bjesus gmail com>]

Hey, that EasyTag patch looks good!
I'm wondering wheter it's going to get into the main branch?

Also, do you know of any programs which use it? Muine maybe?

I also think that the bottom left corner is a good place to show to
album's cover. It will  surely add a nice touch to RhythmBox, and I
think we talked it over too much, it's time to start supporting it (if
only I could code...).
