Not exactly a great explanation that I provided on the Banshee problem.
Banshee will correctly load the library and present all the songs no problem, but when playback is started the song is immediately skipped and the next one is started. So Bamshee quickly goes through all 1400 songs in the library – actually so quickly that FF has a problem keeping up.
This is happening with Banshee 0.12.0-3.1 which is the standard Banshee under SuSE 10.2. I’m sure that there is a newer version around.
I’ll download and try that one.
