Today is Monday so I better start with the Banshee 1.4.1 Review.<\/p>\n<p>Banshee has had a lot of crappy reviews in the past. This one is not a crappy review in the sense that it is bad. No this project has come a long way since I last tried it. The Banshee project should be very happy with their success as I have tried a great many Music and Video Player Programs but most are not as close to as good to this one.<\/p>\n<p>Banshee has a great GUI (Graphical User Interface for those of you new to computers.) The interface is a very nice touch to the new Ubuntu interface where I am trying this out. Everything just, as it seems to me, to be in the right place. I would say this is the best music player other then VLC Media Player.<\/p>\n<p>The music seems to just be better (I do not know if it is because I do not listen to music that much or it is that I have to find the right music to listen to.) Other then the music is better I really like Banshee over iTunes and Rhythym Box. My friend Tom Dyer recommended this program to start listening to podcasts in. Though he has necer tried it and said, &#8220;I only looked at the screenshots.&#8221; I believe he is not only right about the screen shots that he has seen but also that it is easy to use. (I don&#8217;t think he has used Banshee for a while but he is very right anyways.)<\/p>\n<p>The video playback is one thing I have not tried as I do not watch DVDs or anything else on my computer other then work and testing out applications and Distros&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Distros that I am going to review, I have Debian and Mandriva lined up over the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the project has done a great job since I last used it. The interface, music playback has been done great. I appreciate how much effort has been put into working on this project and I hope it continues. I also hope this player will take the place in the Ubuntu Sound and Video Applications that Rhythym box has.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Orser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone.
