Banshee 1.0 Alpha 2 Announced, Includes Video Support!
abock.org — After just under two weeks of hard work, I hereby present Banshee 1.0 Alpha 2! You might be wondering what we can accomplish in two weeks? How about full video management and playback? That and a host of other improvements bring this one step closer to Banshee 1.0! Media management on your GNOME desktop has never been better.

nice wish Fspot would receive similar attention from Novell.
You can't even search by the comments you enter for a photo.
useless. -
I love using banshee
-
I really hope that once Banshee 1.0 is released, that it will be the default audio and video player for Ubuntu 8.10. Finally a worthy program that can compete with Window's Media Player. This would add a clear and mature overall feel to the entertainment portion of Ubuntu which has been its Achilles heel. Now all I am hoping for is a mature Elisa to fill in as the Media Center program for Ubuntu.

*****

I don't understand the obsession with all-in-one media players. In the end you have a *****, audio player compared to amarok e.g can't sync with ipod, podcast, music store and you have a ***** movie player compared to vlc or smplayer e.g can't play stream movies, subtitle, and stream movies. What the ***** happen to the Unix philosophy? Do one thing and do it well.

Amarok is still far more developed, and maintain but lacking video support
-
I've been trying to find a Windows app to help me manage video files much like itunes does for music for about 100 years now...
-
I don't know about their software, but these guys sure are good at naming stuff.
-
Does it support shuffle by album? Are there any bigger screenshots of the album browser?
-
Wow, it sounds just like iTunes, only it's not. Pretty lame.
-
Finally something to diffrentiate between rhythmbox and banshee in terms of capabilities.
-
Is this for Windows??? Oh wait, another Linsux app. Buried....
-
will it still take 10 minutes to search for a song in a library of 50,000?
-
Looks good, how does it compete with my Amarok install on gnome?
-
thats so cool that you copied the iTunes interface! ..........YAWN
-
Sweet! Banshee rocks
-
Great news Banshee team. Arguably my favorite media player on Ubuntu.
-
Errmm what's the difference between Banshee and Rhythmbox ? I find the two quite similar ...
-
How about playlists that dont require adding your entire music library? That is the most annoying thing about most Linux music players. Have yet to find a decent one that comes close to even the simplest things that Winamp does.
-
How about implementing gapless playback before even considering adding video playback?
-
I hate that it is written in mono...
-
Does it have an equalizer? That seems to be the one major thing most players lack(and is why I stick with Amarok, regardless of the DE)...
