Nov 15: My first public C# code
Since I some weeks I'm running Linux on my current workstation. I've been a KDE user for some time but since I like liferea (I understand the code!) as my feed reader and I wanted to see whether GNOME's better than KDE I set it up as my desktop environment. Now I was missing an music player. I knew KDE has the great amaroK, being on a GNOME desktop I searched something similar. The best I found was Banshee a Mono-based player written in C#. After getting the first experience I missed an feature: Automatic playlists for each album. So I set down and developed it, you can see a screenshot of the results on the top of the post and the code here. (I compile it by executing "gmcs -out:ArtistList.dll -target:library -rbanshee -r:System.Data.dll ArtistList.cs") What it does is generating the list you see on the left of the screenshot. It's far away from being stable (see comments in the code) but works for me
