Banshee plugins/settings

When I first install Banshee:

  • Enable the Library Watcher plugin.  It will keep anything new that gets added to my library actually showing in Banshee without me having to manually reload them.
  • Click the Last.Fm item from the sidebar in Banshee's main window and select Account Settings and hit Account Settings on the bottom pane.  Then just log in in your browser and allow Banshee access to Last.Fm.  This is great and suggests similar music.
  • Enable the Banshee indicator applet for full better integration into the panel using the following steps which I got directly from OMG! Ubuntu!
    • sudo apt-get install libappindicator0.0-cil banshee-extension-appindicator
    • In Banshee, click Edit>Preferences and click the Extensions tab and enable Application Indicator for Banshee under Community (if you don't see it, try exiting and restarting Banshee).
