Good luck installing it on Mint. I downloaded the .deb file but it is
only 32-bit and it won't install because of missing dependencies.
Sadly, the company won't make the source code available. I will not pay
money for programs whose developers won't let me modify it to suit
myself. 

Give me open source software. If it is open source I can compile it to
run on any platform, and I can change it to be the way I want it to be.

I really prefer Banshee. The only problem is failure to render UTF-8
characters. This is probably easily remedied, but I don't have time to
get into the code and figure out how to fix it.
