Re: [Banshee-List] Comment and questions

Thanks, Max.
You must admit that all of the problems expressed recently on this forum about Banshee 1.5 do give cause for concern. I liked Banshee as it seemed much better than the other Linux Jukeboxes I reviewed and tried, but really like the fade option between tracks. Does anyone know if Banshee is considering a adding this option between tracks?

Again, thanks for the info.

Sounds like you should ask that on a Wine mailing list.

People don't typically post to mailing groups when things are working great. I use Banshee nearly every day, love it, and at this point wouldn't use any other media player on Linux.

If you pay attention you'll notice that most of the problems that get reported are for versions beginning in 1.5. Banshee follows an even/odd versioning scheme where odd versions (such as 1.5) are "unstable/testing" releases for the next even version (such as 1.6). They are stable enough to use everyday (I run the 1.5 series), but bugs are to be expected as the developers add new features.
