What about creating some kind of plugin so that the user itself has to download the actual library and copy to a dir?
Or (perhaps the best Spotify solution), why not integrade some of Despotify (http://despotify.se/)? It open source and then also should automatically support 64-bit. :)

This is a known issue :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587121
Banshee uses the USB vendor and product IDs to identify devices, and it
seems the 3 HTC Android phones use the same values

Then why not just rename it to "Android Phone"? Or something rather general?
