On the mailing list there was a discussion? Or somewhere else? I've googled around quite a bit. People have added fixes here and there, but all of those seem to have worked their way into the current revision I'm using. The last real update to it seems to have been around Januaryish '08 so I'm hoping that someone is still maintaining it. <br>

Probably better to stick to one topic per message, or it gets confusing.<br>

</div>One problem is that mythmusic has all its music in the database so<br>
doesn't handle media that comes and goes that well (with playing a cd<br>
I understand it does a cddb search and uses the metadata it finds to<br>
show on screen without insewrting it into the DB, whether its feasible<br>
to have the metadata from a whole ipod to be sotred temporarily until<br>
its unpulgged is another matter).<br>

</div>There was an earlier discussion on this when the script was first<br>
released I think.<br>
