Hello!

This is more of a cosmetic concern, rather than a technical one. I have been
using rhythmbox for three years now, and I personally believe it is the best
GUI-based music player, GTK or not, I have ever seen. I have, however, been
seeing that, in the software community, rhythmbox is highly underrated as
compared to certain other music players, and this is accentuated by the fact
that Ubuntu chose to replace rhythmbox with banshee as their default media
player starting with 11.04 Natty Narwhal - something that I personally undid
to revert to rhythmbox as soon as I installed 11.04. I do not think I need
to point out, at least here, why rhythmbox is the most excellent choice.

I wish to suggest the following two changes for a start:

1) The rhythmbox homepage introduces rhythmbox as `originally inspired by
Apple's iTunes'. Though this is indeed the historical fact, I feel this
statement does injustice to rhythmbox in the context of new users and
adopters, since rhythmbox itself is a very different project in its own
right and at the functional level has nothing to do with iTunes. Moreover,
iTunes with its clunky interface, cannot even hold a candle to rhythmbox as
far as features/search capabilities are concerned. Maybe a new introduction
would be appropriate?

2) The rhythmbox logo displayed on the homepage is the one from versions
prior to 0.13. I personally find the 0.13 logo to be more catchy, and I
would love to see it replace the default logo on the homepage.
