- Release Information: NEWS, sha256sum
Banshee 1.9.0 is a development release, the first of the 1.9.x series leading up to Banshee 2.0.
Artist/Album Browser Track Actions
Track actions (play, queue, remove, delete, edit, properties) now work for the artist and album browser too! Right click an artist or album to act on it, or click an album and press ‘q’ to queue it.
‘Play After’ Queue Options
Want to listen to a track, album, or artist right after the playing track, album, or artist? The ‘Play After’ option will insert it into the queue to make it happen. Alex Launi made a screencast showing it in action.
User Interface Improvements
We have made several changes toward a cleaner and more usable UI. We got rid of the active source’s title bar. Search is now beside the volume button. The source list has smaller icons, hidden counts for the libraries, and named group-separators. The seek slider and search entry are resizable via their grips.
Podcasts episodes are now shown in a grid, with several lines of description shown to help you find an appealing episode to enjoy.
Other Enhancements
- Album grid has tooltips for ellipsized text
- Subscribe to Internet Archive searches as podcasts
- MusicBrainz cover art search supports CDBaby and Jamendo
- Support Huawei Ideos Android phones
