I have used Banshee in the past, and use Rhythmbox at present by way of not
bothering to try something different. So after reading your messages I
installed both Banshee and Exaile, and I found that I had to rule out Exaile
because of these two things:
-Intelligent library classification: Banshee and Rhythmbox classify the
library by tracks. Exaile classifies the library by albums. So if I got an
compilation album such as "Songs for Japan" with 37 tracks, each one by
somebody different, in Banshee and Rhythmbox the 37 performers will show up
in the library whereas in Exaile the 37 tracks will be attributed to a single
one performer, 36 of then mistakenly, whilst the other 36 performers will be
ignored.
-"Playback error encountered! no suitable plugins found". Exaile can't play
my music collection.
Amongst Banshee and Rhythmbox I found that both allow for internet radio and
Last.fm, but Banshee interface is visually better. So in spite of having
said in the thread "Development of Trisquel 8.0 "Flidas" Software proposal by
category : Multimedia" that "I have beek OK so far with Rhythmbox.", Banshee
is the one that I like the most and will be using from now on.
