The first actual MEDIA player (instead of just being music OR video player, or a playing component [totem]) so far. Usable and has modern features. Thanks!

I guess this could also make a simpler Podcast-handling possible since they could have their own category and not appear under music at all. Or multiple libraries. Hot! Thank you very very much for all your work. As an aside: Please consider using Conduit for syncing to iPods etc. since syncing in the new Banshee still seems to be in early stages of development. Conduit would make Banshee more universal and easier updateable. This is very awesome.

PPA for Banshee Team URL: http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ubuntu This PPA contains upstream debs of Banshee. It will be updated on a regular basis, to either resolve packaging issues or to package new upstream releases of Banshee. As of now there will be builds of debs for two distributions of Ubuntu, namely Gutsy and Hardy (currently Beta). For Gutsy, there are some packages needed by Banshee 1.0 that are not included in the Ubuntu repositories (main/universe/multiverse). They are included here under Gutsy.

I've been wondering about video playback. Once this is a stable, full release, it could replace both Rythmbox AND Totem. Also, is there any chance that you'll include a custom gtk theme for Banshee? There have been talks on Gnome Look about this brilliant custom theme that Banshee could adopt, and make it far more beautiful than most media players out there. The discussion is at: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/banshee+newlook?content=70771 An adopted GTK in development can be found at: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Blue-Junior0.9-9?content=72003 I would love to see a slick theme like this adopted for Banshee Jeez, that’s freaking awesome.

Banshee sure has come a long way! I remember coming over to your house back in high school and you showing me the early code of what eventually became Sonance. Keep up the great work man! Call me this weekend if you get a chance. We have a lot of catching up to do. Oh yeah, you might want to check your XHTML compliance. You got a few minor errors. Hey Aaron!

Miro doesn't have DVD support, which is why I don't use it a anymore. If theres dvd support for banshee there is like no need for a simple video player. Just make sure these features don't make this app heavy and slow down like miro. Banshee is the default app for Maryan Linux and was planned to be before this was even released ( maryanlinux.wordpress.com ). GOOD JOB GUYS!!! :D Does banshee have DVD movie support?

I haven't really used Banshee all that much but this new video support and great appearance really has me hooked. If I get it to install I will surely do a review on it and you can expect to see it on my site! Ah this is great, well done!
