Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Reading songs list

["Bartosz Wiklak" <bwiklak gmail com>]

Than you for reply,
I'm trying to learn GTK, and plugin writing by writing CoverFlow
plugin for RB - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516186

At activation I would like to build song list so I could load
necessary covers and build my coverflow UI.
