OS X developer needed

Currently the project is lacking an active OS X developer and as such there's currently no support for leopard. TheLastRipper is written in C# and running on Mono on OS X. Most of the codebase is already written or ported from another platform. Currently we need someone who'd want to maintain the OS X release once in a while. Knowledge of OS X and C# would be a good thing, but only determination to learn and have fun is required. If you think this could be fun don't hesitate to mail me (jopsen@gmail.com) or leave a comment at issue 83. I'll gladly assist development, though I have limited understanding of OS X.

New Release 1.4.0

Lately some last.fm changes have course some instabilities, however, updating some variables in our requests have led to more recorder. Thanks to Andreas for pulling of this release, I promise that the current beta version of 1.3.0 for Linux will evolve into a 1.4.0 release really soon this time. New features in release 1.4.0, includes:

• Song health calculation.
• Updated interfacing of Last.fm for greater stability ( Issue 149 ).
• MP3Tunes integration, automatically backup tracks at mp3tunes.
• Fixed problems with international chars  Issue 120 
• Many bugfixes including  issue 133  and  issue 95 .
• Other minor features...

Currently only available for windows as the Linux developer (me) is currently occupied with other projects. I promise a Linux version too sometime, but thanks to Andreas for pulling off this release.

• New GUI station selection improvements.
• Using the new last.fm protocol version 1.2 (Skip now works!).
• Additional management features like skip songs already recorded.
• A few other minor details too.
