Hei Aaron,

first of all, thanks for the best and sexiest media player for Linux and hopefully soon to be best opensource media player for Windows.

Which brings me to the topic…are you aware of that the songbird devs claim to be using GStreamer under Windows (Wikipedia lists it as Win compatible as well)? Your article leaves the impression that GStreamer would still have to be ported?

On a sidenote…i like both Songbird and Banshee, but momentarily Songbird has a lot of issues still, that i don’t believe they’ll manage to fix till 1.2 or 1.3.
It would be too great if Banshee would be available for Win way before that.

Best regards,
Andre.

Hey Aaron, Thx for buiding such a great tool….

I just read your entry and I then browsed to another website called GSTREAMER
because I couldn’t believe that there were absolutly nothing about Windows and this
great framework, and I didn’t fail. Here you can see some real important binaries for
GSTREAMER on Windows. Perhaps it is useful for your development….

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/pkg/windows/releases/
The more apps are usable within different os the more understanding between all fractions (like MSFT APPL and others will exist. We’re running into a blended os future)

[...] wrote a bit about this already, but 1.4 ushers in a new era for Banshee! From now on, Banshee will always be officially released [...]

Keep up the great work Aaron! Banshee is SO much better than Rhythmbox. I didn’t know a Mac version was available. I’ll have to give it a try when I get off work.

Thanks for all your hard work, i too hope that in the end everyone will benefit from more cross platfom projects.
@anthony if you are reffering to the genius bar, you know you can turn that off completly, and it doesn’t even turn itself on by default, right? I’m all for criticism, but at least criticise actual flaws, not something you just don’t know how to get rid off.

I can’t seem to find a way to get the Mac version. The Banshee web site and blog are not updated, Aaron it seems your personal blog has the most current info about Banshee. Any advice on grabbing the Mac version to try out?

Any idea if Banshee will work on the Nokia N810? I know there was a previous deb of Mono but not sure where it stands at the moment.

I am currently an avid OS X user, and yet cannot leave Linux alone. Thank you for bringing something to my Mac that lets me listen to my music, without having a “GENIUS,” there to help me buy more music. Thank you for giving me a player that will play any format someone is willing to write an open codec for.

And Finally, thanks for allowing me to help the open-source cause on a rather closed platform.

I would really like to get involved in this project, whether it be testing (I have both PowerPC and Intel macs at home), or in any other way you guys need. Although I know very little regarding code, if there is anything you all need, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Thanks,
Anthony
