Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: banshee
I have a large collection of music ( > 60.000 Files). If I use Banshee, my RAM
(about 550 MB of 4 GB used normally) boosts up until it is completely filled,
then it tries to fill all my swap space and my system begins to hang and is not
usable any more. I have to kill it then. Think about: Banshee uses more than 3
GB of RAM here! This is just a music player and not an operating system!
This problem exists in all versions of Banshee (since the very first version)
and did not change yet. I like Banshee a lot, but I can not use it with my
music collection. (I wonder for what purpose this program is intended if not
for managing and playing large collections...?) You really should find a way
how to handle large collections without overloading RAM - especially when using
it as a default player in Ubuntu. Rhythmbox does have a similar problem, but
system is still usable with it and a bit of RAM is still available.
