Banshee 1.7.1 is part of the unstable 1.7 series, leading up to a
stable 1.8 release in the fall.  It contains many bug fixes for 1.7.0, as
well as new features and enhancements.

New Features Since 1.7.0

Improvements for Audiobooks support

      Audiobooks tracks are now organized in books, which can be merged
      together. The last position in each book is automatically saved, so
      you can resume playing a book right from where you stopped.

Enhancements

• New preference to have the classic album layout instead of the grid view

• Last.fm streaming can be disabled separately from the other Last.fm features.

• Support for reading and writing MusicBrainz IDs

• Show the TrackEditor fields as read-only when they are not editable

Notable Bug Fixes

18 bugs were fixed since 1.7.0
