this is not a bug, but a whislist

Listening to Last.fm on a slow internet conenection is annoying.

I propose a "slow connection mode". this mode could be activated by the user (just clicking a convenient-icon). When banshee operated on this mode banshee store more Mb of the audio streaming before start the reproduction and (if last.fm allow this) instead of waiting for the current song to be fully-played banshee should begin to download (but not play) the next song; hence not wasting time during songs.

I don´t know if this is a very complicated to implement  feature and I don´t if it could make some difference when streaming using slow connection. what do you think?

note added 2010/03/14 hummmm may be a very stupid idea, Nobody even take the time to say it is actually stupid ;-)
