Hi,

Rhythmbox is awesome!  Here are a couple of things I believe would make it
even better in future iterations:

Automatic file organizing.  Yes there is a plugin for this and it works
well, but it is not really very automatic.  (I am thinking of the non power
user that just needs things to work.)  My suggestion here is twofold.

1) When importing music a user should have an option (maybe a radio
checkbox) to either move or copy the source music to the primary Music
location using the chosen Folder Hierarchy under Preferences/Library
structure.

2) There should be an indented checkbox under Preferences/Music/Watch
library for new files, to the effect of 'Keep files organized'. and have
this work in the background or when songs are played.

Some other suggestions:

Get at least basic tag editing working again.  This kind of goes with the
auto file organizing.  If you edit a tag and change an artist/abum, or
check a compliation album box, the file should be moved to the right place
in the file system.  As it is now to fix things I have to go to a different
program, and then manually run an 'organizer'.  No problem for me, but the
average non technical user should not have to do this.

Remove the menu in Party mode.

Create a startup option to enable Party mode.  (Right now you can make it
start full screen in fluxbox or devilspie/gnome, but it would be nice to
get it started in Party mode on a dedicated music player machine.

Again, great program, and thanks to the hard working devs here.
