The only thing about Banshee is that it requires several
interdependent bleeding-edge libraries to build if there's no binary
for your distribution (i.e. if you're not running SuSE). But yeah, a
lot of work has gone into it and it's got some very nice features.

I am *GLAD* that there is no DRM-happy crapware for gnu/linux, and I
hope there will never be one. The LAST thing we need is for some
distributor to form a "partnership" with one of these places that are
supporting bad copyright law by licking the RIAA's boots (or
elsewhere).
The only contact my systems will ever have with DRM is to remove it.
