rhythbox-0.9.6 has been in the tree over 30 days and has much rewritten code and newer features than the previous 0.8.x series. I would like to request that these archs mark rhythmbox-0.9.6 stable in order for stable users to take advantage of numerous bug fixes and feature additions that have been well tested.
just a notice: most arches will have to stabilize media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.1 too ...
sparc stable.
on x86: media-sound/rhythmbox-0.9.6 USE="aac avahi dbus flac hal ipod libnotify mad musicbrainz python tagwriting vorbis -daap -debug -howl -lirc" with media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.1 seems to work for me. however, if i try to modify tag information, i get an error popup: " Error while saving song information: File corrupted during write " luckily files aren't corrupted for real, it is just impossible to alter their meta-data. after looking at the help i found: " At this time Rhythmbox Music Player is not able to modify the tags your music files ... " if this is the case, i'm wondering what the "tagwriting" use flag does: " media-sound/rhythmbox: support for tag wriring in certian audio files " last but not least, i was able to crash the app once after trying to modify some meta-data, but could not reproduce this so far: " (rhythmbox:10155): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1617: signal `entry-deleted' is invalid for instance `0x82d9868' (rhythmbox:10155): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1617: signal `entry-deleted' is invalid for instance `0x82d9868' (rhythmbox-metadata:10705): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_pad_activate_pull: assertion `old == GST_ACTIVATE_NONE' failed (rhythmbox-metadata:10705): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_pad_activate_pull: assertion `old == GST_ACTIVATE_NONE' failed RhythmDB-ERROR **: file rhythmdb-property-model.c: line 618 (rhythmdb_property_model_delete_prop): assertion failed: ((ptr = g_hash_table_lookup (model->priv->reverse_map, propstr))) aborting... " finally i have to say that rhythmbox is an interesting app and that i will keep using it for testing purposes at least for today.

(In reply to comment #1) > just a notice: > most arches will have to stabilize media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.1 too gstreamer team does not want gst-plugins-faad to go stable yet as it's from gst-plugins-bad. Arches, please hold off until Joe can handle this open question. Removing arch CC's till then As for tagwriting, a comment after the IUSE for it in the ebuild states it has problems with certain formats
shouldn't bug #159538 be taken care of first? Because right now if you install it, it wont be able to demux m4a files.
(In reply to comment #4) > gstreamer team does not want gst-plugins-faad to go stable yet as it's from > gst-plugins-bad. I didn't see any major bugs about gst-plugins-faad (searched for "faad"). And the bug in comment 5 has been resolved. So why are we still using a 2 year old version?
btw, rhythmbox new stable branch is 0.10.0 and is out since a little less than a week. It's a bug fix release from 0.9.8 so it would probably be a good candidate to a quick stabilization.

rhythmbox 0.10.0 also works well under PPC. I've been using it since it reached the Portage tree.
media-sound/rhythmbox-0.10.0 stable on amd64, dont forget to add arches to CC
Adding arches. ia64: feel free to just remove yourself if you don't want a stable version.
x86 stable
Nope, we don't want to stabilize it :) Thanks
ppc stable
