Howdy musiclovers. I think the only reason to have podcasts in a music jukebox app is because of the synchronisation to the portable devices. I personally prefer having a set of limited scope applications that cooperate well. I prefer my file manager to help me manage files, not browse the web. I would totally prefer a separate podcast client (penguintv is quite cool). And that should actually only deal with finding, subscribing and managin the sources, for playback a generic media player such as totem sounds ideal. I would prefer a device synchronisation application that wouldn't do anything but sync data onto a device. Podcasts, music, calendars, e-mail... I don't need my email client to care about that, I don't need my music jukebox to care about that either. It's the data that matters. Things get to end up a lot easier to understand in terms of interface. Cramming podcasting into a jukebox app is a little nasty. As far as the media handling stock icons -- I'm not sure we'd want those defined for the core set of icons such as tango-base, but it would be nice to have a naming scheme defined for media players, similar to what we are trying to do for graphic editors with tango-art-libre. Anyone willing to give a hand with this, feel free come by at #tango on irc.freenode.org or the tango-artists mailing list*. cheers * http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/tango-artists -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
