Musicbrainz isn't working

[Alexandre Oliveira]

We're still using tunepimp, first of all, because nobody had ever told
us it was deprecated.

It has been deprecated very recently, but anyway, with the  0.5 series
of tunepimp, Amarok uses the new service. It uses the library only to
hash the file, and interfaces with the new XML service directly. Too
bad most distros still use 0.4.

Anyway, I don't think we'll do anything about it in our 1.4 series
(apart from maybe dropping support for 0.4 and 0.3). With 0.5 it's
supposed to work ok, as long as you have libtunepimp with the correct
plugins installed. For 2.0, I'll very happily remove it in favour of
directly hashing the file, or maybe using the gstreamer plugin.

RIP libtunepimp.
