I would advise waiting for Rhythmbox to adopt it first before ruling it out.

There are issues to be fleshed out for Rhythmbox and once they are 
resolved we will be in a better position to be judged.

Sorry if this whole thread has gone astray but my initial proposal is 
still t-s-t + tracker for gnome 2.18 and thats what it should be judged 
on (IE its desktop search capability). We are fairly mature and stable 
in that area and thats why it has been proposed.

People here have asked about the other interesting features of tracker 
and so I have been compelled to answer them on this list but that should 
not have any bearing on whether tracker is adopted or not.
