Ubuntu – How to find the currently playing song in Banshee

bansheemusic

Is there any way to quickly go to the song currently playing in Banshee? Maybe double-clicking something?

My library is quite large, and scrolling to the currently playing song after I've scrolled several songs down can be challenging.

Under the "Playback" menu, there is an item named "Jump to Playing Song". Its key-combination is Control+J.

In case of crashes you have to set Banshee up to create a debug log. Short version from the link:

killall banshee

cd ~; banshee --debug 2>&1 | tee banshee-debug-log.txt

Reproduce your problem and exit banshee and attach the resulting banshee-debug-log.txt to your bug report.

There is also a faq on performance issues _{I wonder why there is a faq about this? Isn't this admitting it is not so good?)}

And finally Banshee also uses bugzilla.

MP3 Diags can fix incorrect durations (and other errors). It is open source and in the repositories. It is a GUI Tool.

Installation

sudo apt-get install mp3diags mp3diags-doc

Another option is MP3val, which can be used either via commandline or via GUI:

Installation

sudo apt-get install mp3val

Usage example

mp3val damaged.mp3 -f -t

-f: fix errors, -t: keep original timestamp
