Commented on Banshee free/open music player for GNU/Linux turns 1.0
I use Amarok on gnome without any troubles. I gave Banshee 1.0 a test. As far as an all-in-one media app that integrates well with Gnome, it's doing very well. I still prefer either Songbird or Amarok, though....

Sounds like a good time to switch over to Crd Mbl, or drop your phone provider entirely. Sure, these shills should be watching out for our rights, but with as inept a job they're doing of it, this seems like...

More open licenses in the public space is always a good thing, and Banshee looks like a pretty nice piece of work. But not for me, thanks. I like smaller tools. I've done more than my fair share of banging my head against keyboards when things don't work right, and I'm convinced: simplicity is a virtue. My alarm clock is mpg123 and a cron job. Maybe I'm just Amish or something....

Is terribly and sadly ironic that a website that is constantly going about protecting freedoms in general chooses to promote a piece of software that supports a development platform that has the potential to make us less free when it comes to choice. Or didn't Boing-Boing read and reported about Mr Ballmer's patent threaths uttered against anything Linux? Amarok (and other apps) is less liable to such spurious claims (put aside that many people consider it technically superior), even though when it comes to software patents any outlandish claims may find their way in the annals of legal verity.
