Banshee 2.2 is the culmination of six months’ work by 35 developers, 38 translators and dozens of bug reporters and testers. It is a stable release, the successor to Banshee 2.0.
eMusic Store
Browse, search, preview, buy, and download music straight into your Banshee library from the eMusic online store.
New custom support for the Barnes & Noble Nook
Transfer music between your library and your Nook device, it just works !
Support default internet radio stations
At first start, XSPF playlists in $datadir/banshee/stations/ are imported automatically. We don’t provide default radio stations ourselves but this allows distros or other third parties to do so.
Other Enhancements
- Add “Stop when finished” option in the notification popup menu
- Hide labels in the source pane when the group is empty
- New Devices Supported:
- Motorola Atrix
- Notion Ink Adam
- Samsung Galaxy Ace
- Samsung Galaxy S2
- Xperia X12
- Add “Smiley Face Curve” default equalizer
- ArtworkManager: add –fetch-artwork argument
- MiniMode: Reduce height of window
- Support .spc files
- Set UserAgent when doing MusicBrainz queries
- Get info from the database or the file when opening a URI
- Remove keyboard shortcut for toggling scrobbling
- Cache the ArtworkID in the database for faster startup
- Various enhancements to our experimental GStreamer# backend, bringing it close to feature parity with our current C backend. It is still not built by default and not recommended for daily use, but testing is welcome.
