Replace Rhythmbox with Banshee

Registered by Thomas

Rhythmbox is no longer being developed, and, if Ubuntu Karmix doesn't replace it with Banshee, I think Mint 8 should for sure. Not only does Banshee handle music and video, the next release is going to have a new GUI and photo support: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/07/netbook-ui-photo-management-coming-to-banshee-media-player.ars . Banshee is actively developed and is a great application, and blows the socks off of Rhythmbox.

I don't know where you get the impression rythmbox is not under active development: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2009-August/date.html seems to provide contrary evidence
