| Banshee uses GStreamer for transcoding and CD plbacayk/ripping. For regular file plbacayk it also uses GStreamer, but can optionally be changed to use Helix/RealPlayer or VLC engines, depending on how it was configured. Playback engines are loaded at runtime though, are completely dynamic, and can be changed within Banshee.For syncing to an iPod, Banshee automatically transcodes unsupported formats to iPod-supported formats (MP3, probably, because I've yet to see faac work under GStreamer for MP4). Banshee also ships with the Xing MP3 encoder and a GStreamer plugin for it, if you don't have Lame. If you do have Lame, use it, because it's a little better. |

| The Vista police is aclltuay called User Account Control/UAC and can be turned off in the Control Panel. Once youc2b4ve done this, Vista loses most of its new security features, but becomes much more usable.Maybe you are right about the advantages of Gnome, Linux and Free Software in general. But letc2b4s face facts: People are not interested in operating systems and desktops. They are interested in applications. Thatc2b4s what they need to get their job done, thatc2b4s what they use to bring their imagination to life. Ic2b4m talking about applications like Final Cut Studio, Aperture, Photoshop, Mellel, Montage, Journler, Logic and Reason. Professional creativity apps for the Mac, aclltuay, but there are counterparts available for Windows. But Linux just cannot compete here.You see, that is my biggest issue with Linux: Ic2b4ve been watching the progress of Linux since the late nineties, and every year since then Ic2b4ve played with two or three current distributions. I installed them, tried to get all my hardware running, looked at the applications and erased Linux again from my hard disk. Why? Whenever I want to aclltuay do something with it, I discover that there's no software for me. And I guess Ic2b4m not the only one out there with that feeling. For OS X and Windows I find the software that I need. But maybe I also live in a box of delusion ? http://kysthxdkw.com [url=http://fdnnwanwrv.com]fdnnwanwrv[/url] [link=http://ludjrxqoow.com]ludjrxqoow[/link] |

| It's interesting to see how GNOME is aprchapoing the Summer of Code differently than KDE is.Pretty much all KDE-related stuff is collected under a single KDE umbrella, and the KDE project then decides in-house how those projects are allocated to the different applications, frameworks, etc. (K-3D is the the single exception, and not involved at all with the KDE community afaik.)In the GNOME space, it seems to me like every high-profile app wants to be a seperate mentor organization. If you look at the GNOME community, you've got AbiSource, Beagle and Gaim accepted as mentor organizations, and those are undoubtedly integral parts of a GNOME desktop. maemo and OpenMoko are deeply involved with core GNOME and will be just as beneficial. If you involve the outer community, you can quickly add Inkscape, Mono, GnuCash, Fedora and Ubuntu as GNOME-centric projects.GStreamer and Avahi are definitely desktop agnostic enough to not only warrant inclusion into the mentor organization list, but also be listed seperately from GNOME. Same with most other projects I mentioned, because GNOME is only one (but important) aspect of those projects.Nevertheless, I don't think that all the seperate apps should apply as mentor organization just because they can . Banshee is part of both the GNOME and the Mono communities, and I think you should act as part of those. If every single sub-project applies as mentor organization, you'll get the same issue for desktop apps like is already the case with wikis. |
