Rhythmbox 3.2 was released yesterday, bringing new features like a Soudcloud plugin, along with bug fixes. If you're using Ubuntu 15.04, 14.10 or 14.04 / Linux Mint 17.1 or 17 (and derivatives), you can already install the latest Rhythmbox via PPA.
Changes in Rhythmbox 3.2 since 3.1:
- added a Soundcloud plugin;
- added the ability to clear, re-fetch and manually set cover art using the song info window;
- added support for disc and track total tags;
- various style and layout fixes;
A complete list of changes for Rhythmbox 3.2 is available HERE.
Here are a couple of screenshots with the new Soundcloud plugin and the new cover art options from the song info window:
These are just the changes since version 3.1, available in Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet however, Ubuntu 14.10 and 14.04 provide Rhythmbox 3.0.x and since then, Rhythmbox was updated with GTK 3.14 support and even more bug fixes, which you can see HERE (changes in 3.1).
