    Improvement for Mashtape: Use Album Artist instead of Artist to get metadata
    Hi, I'd like to suggest something that other people also might like:

    I'd like to be able to select if Mashtape uses Artist or Album Artist in order to get the info from last.fm etc. (or put in a preference order...).
    There's many duets or other songs with artists featuring other artists and for those constellations last.fm rarely has an entry big enough to find pictures for the flickr slideshow etc...

    Think about it, shouldn't be too much of an effort to implement this change (i think?)...

    Crashes caused by language set to German? Songbird 1.1.1b2


    Some time after I started using Songbird 1.1.1b2 I experienced crashes with the error shown in the picture: in english it sais: there has been an error while a file was being read in. songbird has to get closed. the problem might have been caused by your current language settings. setting the language back to US english might solve the problem.

    the crashes always happened after some time of songbird being in use (sth like 15/20min at least) and with different songs. now i have switched to US english and so far nothing but i hope to be able to use german some time soon...

    who knows? the problem might also have been caused by some add-ons i have installed after i used the 1.1.1b2 version first:
    amazon fetcher; birdquizz; birdtune; centurion timer; fasterbird; now playing list; songtapper; vandelay industries

    keep up the good job! songbird is awesome!!! once you'll have better podcast support i plan to completely ditch itunes and only use songbird!!
