Re: [Banshee-List] Fwd: Using Radio Feature

I saw the upgrade guide for Ubuntu, but is there one for Linux Mint? Most of the Ubuntu management features are not present in Mint & I tried adding them but with no success. I would like to try upgrading to 1.4.2 to see if it will correct some issues.

I think openSUSE 11.1 shipped with Banshee 1.2.1.  You can upgrade to
the latest (1.4.2) here:
