Release of TheLastRipper 1.3.0 for Windows

Development on TheLastRipper have been stalled for a while, but thanks to Andreas’ work we’re now able to release . It features:
Now some might be wondering why it’s called version 1.3.0 and not 1.2.0 - well, what can I say: It’s a “known issue” :) I think I accidentally incremented it one too much, and since we can’t really delete downloads from GoogleCode it’s going to be version 1.3.0 instead. It would also look weird to have a version 1.2 featured and a version 1.3 deprecated.
Anyway I don’t think the version number thing is so bad either, I think I previously stated that there wouldn’t come a version 1.2.0, because I was going to rewrite the codebase. Because a rewrite would be needed to make a clean, easy portable and extendable backend implementation of the Last.fm protocol version 1.2. I started development of such a clean backend, but it’s still stuck in development, since I don’t have time for it at the moment.
- New GUI station selection improvements.
- Using the new last.fm protocol version 1.2 (Skip now works!).
- Additional management features like skip songs already recorded.
- A few other minor details…
