Bug Description
Cowbell music organizer doesn't work for me at all.
Guessing track information crashes the application - it's still alive (repaints window) but does not react to any user input.
When manually editing track informations and then selecting "Save" it crashes most of the time and takes ridicuosly long if it succeeds - something like 30 seconds to tag 10 sound files, on a 2.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM machine.
Also it doesn't start when there is a "~/.cowbell" - it creates one everytime you start it, but if it exists, it fails to start. It doesn't bring up a window and just blocks. strace reveals it stops doing anything after accessing said file.
Is this the expected behaviour? I mean, is it just so alpha that it doesn't work most of the time or is this a "real" bug?
I'm not quite sure why you're having so many problems -- I have cowbell successfully working on a 1 GHz laptop with 512 MB RAM. Cowbell is a fairly stable project that has been in development for over a year so I'm very surprised. Can you run cowbell with the --debug flag, do some operation, and paste the output here? Also what is your current configuration (mono version, gtk# version, gtk version, cowbell version, etc).
