Very promising on the OS X work. However, it crashes every time I use it (within a few minutes). When it’s stable enough to use I’ll start submitting bugs. Keep up the great work!

I don’t see Banshee in the Android Market. Where can I get it?
If I’m supposed to grab it from the download page ( http://banshee-project.org/download/ ), what distribution do I want?

@Aaron: if you discourage people from using packman, what do you recommend if they want to play MP3 or other proprietary formats?

Anyway, maybe it’s fixed in packman upstream:

(although they firstly were reluctant to fix it: http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2008-November/006344.html )

Regards.

PS: Congrats for the release, it’s awesome.

Well yall have done a great job and i’ll be eagerly awaiting a windows release. When I get to use Linux I love Banshee but I use Windows mostly for work, so seeing all these cool features is like a big tease…

As apple changed the hashing of the iTunes db in a recent firmware update for the iPhone/touch – can banshee work with the newer firmware?

Also the new version seems to be working well on Ubuntu 8.10 – well done

@Vlado: stop using GStreamer from Packman. Read my reply to that thread for details.

@Iggy.Ma: we’re working on it. Oliver is correct – the Mac OS X support is much, much easier because Linux and Mac OS X are very similar. We can use the same build environment, the same development tools, etc. Dependencies are easily compiled from their pristine sources and do not need hours of molding to get things to work. No one doubts there are more Windows users than Mac users. We’re working on it.
