I am trying to downgrade my distro. The thing is, I have spent some few hours organising my music library and I do not want to lose my database. I have checked 'write meta data to files'. And so, my understanding is, that if I just import those same mp3s into a new library, those files will be arranged in the same order in the library. But this doesn't sound like a safe enough option. I'm moving from 11.10 to 10.04. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Banshee configurations are stored in the
~/.config/banshee-1/
directory. Those configurations can be found in the~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db
(if you have thesqlite3
tool you can take a look inside this file).I don't know if there are significant differences in the format of the files from one version to another, but I suggest that you save the entire directory and try to restore it after downgrade.
Update:
A more safe option to keep bashee settings is using the
sqlite3
command:After the downgrade you can restore the file (first copy the backup file to the
~/.config/banshee-1
directory):
