Hi everybody,
When i first got my Nokia N900 (over a month ago) Banshee did not yet
support the device so i created a .is_audio_player file on it. I specified
a custom location for the audio (~/MyDocs/Music) and added ogg vorbis as a
supported codec (it is a stable addon for the N900 and, i guess like many
linux users, i prefer it over mp3). This worked perfectly.
Until yesterday, when i received a new version of banshee (i'm using the
banshee-daily ppa), with support for the N900.
- Now music is stored in ~/MyDocs/.sounds, which i don't really like
- and ogg vorbis files are converted to MP3, which i really really hate,
because vorbis is much better, and it take A LOT of time on my 6-year old
laptop.
So would it be possible to either
- not ignore the .is_audio_player file to give the user the possibility to
tweak how banshee handles the n900?
- make banshee aware of the fact that the n900 potentially supports ogg
vorbis and let us configure where we want our music on the device.
i know the n900 doesn't come by default with vorbis support, but i guess
that any linux user who has music encoded in vorbis will most certainly
also install the vorbis decoder on his n900...
i also found this bug related to this issue:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611991
In the meantime, is it somehow possible to let Banshee not recognize my
N900 as such a device but just a mass storage device without having to
downgrade?
thx!
Jeroen
