At first, I have to explain my little delay of progress report - I started my work a little bit later (that's because of exams on my university), and that's why I'm writing my progress report now (I promise, I will publish my further report in the nearest two weeks:)
Last time I spent a lot of time on a learning F# language. My mentor, Andrés G. Aragoneses, proposed me to write my task in this language (at the beginning it was to be a C# ). I'd never written anything using this language, so I started to read everything what I noticed in the internet about it. The most interesting articles I can be found at the end of post.
Because I even after reading a lot of articles I wasn't so experienced in F# (I'm still not ;), I started to write in C#, and then I rewrote my code to F#.
Empty album's names fixer
My first subtask was add new function to Metadata Fixer plugin. Pluggin allowed to find and fix duplicated artists, albums and genres in loaded files. I implemented one more option: finding tracks, which has empty album's names, and setting this field to "God's Album". Screenshot of plugin and results is shown below:

Input track list, with empty album's names
Tracks with empty album's field, found by plugin
Fixed album's names
Album's names found in MusicBrainz
Meanwhile I fixed bug [2], which totally prevented to use Metadata Fixer in the newest Banshee version.
Working with AcoustID
Now I'm trying to use AcoustID [3] - it's an Open Source project, which allows to read fingerprints from audiofile. Fingerprint may be used for finding more informations about track (e.g. track name, artist, release etc.).
For now, I wrote an application, which takes audiofile as an argument, reads fingerprints, and display some informations about this file.
Sample usage:
loganek@loganek-cmp ~$ ./ChromaPrintTest.exe ~/unknown.mp3
Track ID: 370f8c7a-ae8d-4ac4-9c41-f731929580e7
=========================
Recording ID: cfe8e73c-09c1-4c86-a86c-d31da7448a08
Title: Ten sen
Artists:
* Varius Manx (ID: 04f19c9f-f9c3-4645-bb26-7f7211ae7b6f)
Release Groups:
* Najlepsze z dobrych (Type: Album, ID: c6ac2258-16c4-3362-8396-08c5fa49456d)
* Ego (Type: Album, ID: 322c5fec-d0bf-37ba-82a9-c1d1b93608c3)
loganek@loganek-cmp ~$
Fingerprints are calculated from decoded stream, so we can use this application for every audio format, which is supported by GStreamer installed on your system.
