    Banshee 1.0 Released

    Banshee logo

    Linux music player application Banshee has just been updated to version 1.0.

    The new version features significant performance improvements, plus a host of brand new features, including Video, a new Play Queue feature, Shuffle and improved support for third-party media devices and Last.fm.

    "Import, organize, and discover new music with Banshee through its simple
    and powerful interface and wide array of innovative features. Create
    your own radio stations or listen to a friends' through Last.fm integration;
    experience automatic cover art fetching as you listen; and easily browse,
    search, and control your media collection."

    Source

    Depending on your distribution, it might be a while before the 1.0 release hits your software repositories and appears for update. The download page, however, includes packages for Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Foresight, Fedora and Debian and of course you can grab the source code and compile it yourself too.

      I recently switched to using Banshee and have been quite impressed. It has a nice clean interface and just gets the job done. Everything seems to work smoothly.

      Thanks banshee team!
