The Extra tab in the track information dialog has a “Copyright” field (which is just the id3 tag field); we should extend that to parse for recognizable licenses (eg: CC, Open Audio, etc) and display a clickable image or something.

Just an idea.

Keep on rocking Banshee!

Banshee 1.x is absolutely awesome and 1.4 is rock solid (compiled it from source after reading this post). The new track metadata editor is great and the rate that extra hardware is being supported in Banshee is amazing. Managed to convert a friend to Ubuntu today and was confident that Banshee would work 100% with his Music collection and his iPod (which it did). Keep it up!</p> +1!
