Regarding playback - that's just a bug. Software has bugs :) Please report them. I've been squashing a number of them in Rhythmbox and a few in GStreamer recently myself, and GStreamer's Benjamin Otte in particular has fixed a lot of mp3 metadata loading and playback problems that arise with weirder mp3s. Those fixes should all be in the upcoming gstreamer-plugins 0.8.2 release. > Again, I'm quite confident that every bug will eventualy be nailed down, but > this butched Rhythmbox release makes me really nervous about seeing GNOME 2.6 > enter unstable at _this_ stage. It just feels like it needs more testing
