OOhhh… That’s some fancy good looking stuff. I’m looking forward to it, and I like the tool tip thing. Will it automatically pop-up when the song changes?

Abock I love you
My dad watch every evening walker texas ranger, and now I must see he also here, it’s a nightmare…I’m just kidding

I’ve the same request of YAN, I think one of the best way to find something in a big library is the genre/artist/album browser…if you add this…when can I buy your poster

Mhm…I will try another time banshee+iPod when possible, one of the most beautiful thing I lost with banshee is the cover on iPod…I hope this will be added soon

PS: You and banshee rock! Sorry for the feature requests

There is a patch for a very nice browser mode flying around, dunno why aaron is not committing it :/ please get it into 0.10.3, banshee would *greatly* benefit from it!

Thanks a lot for this great application.
Is it planned to have a artist/album browser ala iTunes/Rhythbox ? that’s the only reason why I use Rhythmbox over Banshee right now … I simply can’t manage my songs with only the flat list and the search box. Performance is not a problem here (~3000 songs).

Thanks for the comments everyone… too bad word press doesn’t allow “replies” (or maybe there’s a plugin and I just don’t care enough).

To Colin: I was loosely aware of that, but we’ll figure something out.

To ESA and Phil: This question is asked all too often, and I’ve been meaning to post about it. As for “Mono controversy,” I absolutely hate that term. That horse has been beaten. You’re either supportive, or you’re not. It’s not going away, so deal with it (or don’t, but I’m tired of hearing about it). There’s no controversy, just twisted perception. (Apologies if that comes across brusque, it just touches a worn out nerve).

At the heart of the project, of course there is “duplication.” There are some common goals, and some not-so-common goals. But the only actual common “link” is GStreamer.

Muine is cute, but has been pretty dead for quite a few months. I think latexer is starting to take over maintainership, at least for behind-the-UI stuff. I hope the project does pick up; it was a shame that it pretty much stalled.

As for the 6000 song issue: yes, there is a performance limit that needs to be overcome. The solution is a custom tree model that maps to the data stores, which is impossible to implement in Gtk# at the moment. A solution will be found however. I will probably end up doing it in C.

To Jeff: *AWESOME* I hope I can make it out to the mountains soon for a nice ASU party.

And to joe: chucknorrisfacts.com made my night. That was great. I was going to buy the t-shirt, but it sucks.

I’ve really enjoyed watching Banshee grow-up from it’s humble beginnings as sonance (I still like that name better… heh). Personally I actively play with both Rhythmbox and Banshee… but Banshee will almost certainly win the race for me. I’m a big fan of mono.
