Some time ago I just found out another media player in my Ubuntu.
I was trying to find something more than the Ubuntu’s default players, and I got surprised with Banshee 0.2. It was really cool. Great tools, great music organization.
Then, after some days enjoying my new prefered music player, I finally had one idea: how about visit the Banshee website?
So I went there and saw that the current Banshee version was already 1.2. Damn, I was outdated. The Hardy Heron’s repository was kinda poor if I’d expect for newer versions of applications like Banshee. Today I use the version 1.4.1 on my Intrepid Ibex.
I downloaded and installed it on my PC and, wow, it wasn’t a music player anymore. It was a media player. Yes, music + video organized in one application.
Some of the things I like much in Banshee are:
Media organization and access
It’s very easy to organize and search for your media files: just sort, type and list.
Banshee Media Organization
Editing Media Information
You can select multiple media files then update their meta information.
Banshee's Track Editor
Smart Playlists
Banshee can go beyond organization with smart playlists.
Creating a smart playlist
It has many other features, like CD burning and extraction, media synchronization to media devices and album art automatic search & download.
