Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee-by-default in Ubuntu talk - happening now



Rickstone:

The latest master for version 1.50 is available at  http://banshee-project.org/download/development/  There are excellent installation instructions there too, so you shouldn't have any trouble with it. As I said before, I would urge you to install it and check it out thoroughly before passing judgment on the product. It is a huge leap forward from version 1.43.

While I appreciate that we all have differing opinions and that free speech
is a valuable commodity, I, too have the right to it.  The above opinion is
far from FUD, but the truth.  I have installed Banshee multiple times (and
reinstalled more than that) on different systems, on different OS versions,
etc., and the issues that I am pointing out (that I have previously pointed
out here, never getting a straight answer or any useful reply) are MY
experience and obviously the experience of others, noted by reading the
posts here.  "File a bug" is hardly a helpful response to a question.  

The latest version of Banshee that I see available is 1.4.3...this version
has been out for some time and did nothing to solve any of the
aforementioned problems.  This version does NOT appropriately support the G1
as advertised (a fact echoed by many), and the cover art management is
abysmal.  You can tell me I'm wrong, but I'm stating that this is MY
experience with this package.  This is also the experience that many others
have noted.  

I'm sorry if some people think that the truth (and the request for
intelligent input and responses) is FUD.  I have asked here many times for
input on these issues and have received responses similar to the these. 
This is sad.  A logical response offering some assistance or possibly asking
further questions IS appropriate.  Simply telling someone to "file a bug" is
not helpful or appropriate.  Not every user wants to or has time to file
bugs.  These are simple questions and if someone thinks that I and others
are either stupid or lying about G1, iPod and cover art support, then feel
free to point me (and the many others here who have asked about this) in
some positive direction.

Before passing such harsh and (in my opinion) false judgment, I would
ask you to install the latest master for version 1.5. A huge number of
issues from version 1.43 have been resolved, and it works wonderfully.
I think that it is definitely the BEST choice for a default player for
future releases of Ubuntu. Rhythmbox is clunky, awkward, and never
going to get any better, whereas Banshee is easy, sexy, has great
Last.fm support, and is continually evolving... 

Cheers,

  Let's hope that this doesn't happen.  Banshee is a completely unusable
mess
at this point and with release dates pushed back further and further and
no
fixes for advertised yet broken functionality nowhere on the horizon, this
would be a huge mistake.  Rhythmbox may not be sexy, but it's rock solid.

    Ubuntu is holding its Developer Summit, and having a session right
*now* (just about to start) about whether to make Banshee the default
media application.  You can listen in at
http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/room3.ogg.m3u 

There may be a Gobby document created at http://gobby.ubuntu.com/  at
some point.  You can probably chat on IRC about it on freenode,
#ubuntu-devel-summit

The Blueprint document that originated this session is here:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-default-media-player-choice
.

Cheers!
