CD> id3 edit, ID3 tag editing, is present in rhythmbox now and has been for some time, but needs to be compiled with support using the --with-tag-writing option to configure. Not all distro's packages do this, which is why many folks still think that RB doesn't have tag editing ability. Also, for best results you should be using the latest released gstreamer-plugins-good pacakge which better preserves tags that gstreamer doesn't know about. I have a spent a good deal of time testing the ID3 tag editing, working with the gstreamer developers, filing bugs and patches etc., and it seems to be working pretty well modulo some minor issues with COMM (comments) tags. OGG tag editing is also in rhythmbox, but requires some fixes to gstreamer, which are pending for addition to CVS, for it to work. CD> synching There is a patch for synching with mass storage in bugzilla that probably needs more testing. Also I believe that there is also a patch for iPod synching that is almost ready to go into CVS. Don't have the bug numbers handy. If I get them/remember I'll post them here. CD> video It's controversial just how video should be integrated with RB, some suggestions already discussed include having some kind of plugin/launcher that calls (or embeds?) Totem.
