I don't think that's it, but wild speculations aren't really going to help our situation here. I don't know who suggested switching back to Rhythmbox, but the only valid point they have against Banshee is that it's still stuck on Gtk2 and that blocks the UbuntuOne Music Store from being ported to Gtk3. The other point being that Banshee in Ubuntu is not being well-maintained, but that's a rather ungrounded opinion, and just plain nonsense, in my opinion. (Disclaimer: I maintain banshee in Ubuntu). For more information, check out the discussion notes at <http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-p/meeting/19442/desktop-p-default-apps/>.
