All players are currently lacking, crossfading, smart playlists, playing songs without crashing… ( I have move songs then I have fingers crashing GStreamer in Ubuntu Feisty). Dare I say it, Visualisations.

Amarok really is the best player we have. Although I have big hopes for Songbird.

HUH?

The problem here is that Banshee isn’t a great player but because it’s Gnome then it may be the best available player. Even if you use Gnome you should run Amarok (just have available the KDE libs) which is bar-none the best music player in Linux.

This isn’t a KDE vrs Gnome thing it’s a just what is the absolute best player available.

It really looks cool, but I lack some small things: 1. I can not sort my songs inside a playlist by track number which makes it difficult to listen to albums in the right order. 2. The cd-burning is really great in opposite to the one contained in rhythmbox because I can burn a bunch of songs without having to create an extra playlist for it, but it crashes for me. 3. When I add a song while it is being downloaded, banshee stores the duration that the song had when I added it. If I now burn this song, it is burnt to the cd with the stored length, so if I add songs while they are being downloaded, I have CDs with many half-cut songs.</p> <p>Otherwise banshee looks really great, I especially appreciate the LastFM plugin with the suggestions at the bottom and the fact that you can see what the worker thread does because it is shown in the bottom left. If you add songs to Rhythmbox you never know <em>when</em> they are added if it is currently scanning your music directory for new songs.</p> After reading this article, I took a look on Banshee (version packaged with feisty) after not using it for about 9 months.
