    Banshee 1.0 Rocks! Keep up the great work!
    Does anyone know the GTK theme used in the main screenshot on the new homepage? It looks similar to the one the GIMP site has…

    Great work! I love Banshee

  3. Jeff Greene says:

    It looks to me like it is the default OpenSuse GNOME theme.

  4. Jeff Greene says:

    Oh, whoops. You mean the black one? I’m not quite sure exactly. I would like to know myself.

  5. abock says:

    The dark theme is called Darkilouche and it’s based on based on Gilouche.

    Excellent! congratulations on a great release, I’ve been following the betas / RCs very close and it’s an amazing piece of software. Keep up the good work and kudos to all the team!

    Congratulations on a great release! I’m new to linux and this player is coming closer and closer to having everything I need.

    Will you be porting the internet radio component (ie. not last.fm) from older versions?

  8. NetJack says:

    Hi! great work for this new version, expecially for the new album/artist browse feature. I have only one question for you: is possible to have, in album browsing, the compilation under only one icon?
    for example if i have the album “The crow OST” in album browse it result one icon for every artist present in the disc and no only one icon that represent the complete album.

    Thanks for your work!
    Bye

    Where is the UPnP support? :-) This is what leaves people here at work using Rhythmbox

    Well done! Thanks for your work!
    One small nitpick though: the images in the header on the front page might not be the best. I think the desktop theme used is not the kind that will appeal universally. Furthermore it’s a bit too dark and it’s hard to see anything on the pictures. And it’s not very consistent with the rest of the pictures found on the site.
    Anyways, that’s just my 2 cents. :)

  12. cl says:

    great stuff!
    the only thing missing is internet radsio though :-)

  13. RedS says:

    Great! I’m looking forward to see it run in windows soon.

  14. Aleks says:

    The best player Linux has to offer ;-)

  15. Gommo says:

    Well finally I have got rid of Itunes and am now M$ free. Banshee is the dogs.

  16. Gandhi says:

    The application seems very nice and feature rich! Good work on that.
    have a suggestion, though. The media library needs to be worked on, it is way to slow and everything in one page is a bad idea.
    I dunno your PoV on Amarok, or if you’re trying to make something “not so like it”, but i think you could adopt the libraru feature from there. With the tab on the left hand side, and option to load in albums songs etc in the playlist.

    Short version.
    Would be better with a more “Amarok like” music library. Otherwise it’s perfect.

    Thank you. Thank you so much for the iPod support!

    Its the best out there!

    Thank you!

    Now it’s getting awesome, banshee looks great, the albums, the queue, the podcast. Everything.

    But just a small sugestion, I think that the now playing would be better if it showed my actual playlist, you know. Click on a song at the library and the playlist appear there. This together with the queue will be great.

    And… by the way will there ever be global hotkeys on Banshee??

    Am I the only one who can’t seem to fetch metadeta for cd’s?

    It might help if it came with instructions. I have my music sorted the way I want it on my hard drive but I couldn’t figure out how to play any of it. After about 20 minutes I managed to import everything, but it’s all jumbled together. And it won’t play the videos. They are listed as “Errors”.

  25. Carl-Erik Kopseng says:

    Seems great, having just tried it, a lot faster, smoother, better looking, and MORE STABLE! Congrats - it took you some while getting there :) My iPod is getting repaired, so I cannot check the transcoding features. Anyone know if it supports automatic on-the-fly FLAC to MP3 transcoding like the old one did?

  26. Kyle says:

    Great work! I love this software. I cannot wait for future versions and the mac version. Its good to see that there will finally be an open source competitor to itunes! you guys rock!

  27. Tonedeaf says:

    W00tness! I just downloaded it and the first thing I noticed was that you had my biggest gripe fixed: Disc Numbers. Previously, Banshee knew nothing about these, but now they WORK!!! Thank you! I’ve always wanted to use banshee as my default player, and now I can.
    Thank you

  28. Spofford Booth says:

    Banshee is cool, it’s fun to see the cover art etc. popping up. Works well with Frostwire. Thanks guys!

  29. Inigo says:

    Congratulations and thank you for this nice piece of software! The only feature I miss in Banshee 1.0 is support for streaming radiostations. Is that feature planned? Thanks in advance and congratulations again!

    Is there any schedule yet for the windows version? I’m stuck with windows at work so it would be great to have this fine piece of software on the windows machine too!
