Description xenhu134 2011-06-04 21:48:58 UTC 
There doesn't seem to be native iTunes library import supported. As this is one of the major sources of migrants, the feature should be available. Otherwise users lose their ratings and other added metadata. 

The iTunes library is described in an XML file that is somewhat easy to parse. There are 3rd party iTunes->Rhythbox scripts which are unreliable, and at least Banshee project has re-engineered the file format completely.
