Banshee is back. Enjoy the classic Linux music player, revived for today's desktops.
Browse your music collection by artist and album, build playlists and listen to your favourite podcasts, all in a familiar GTK interface with album artwork and desktop playback controls.
On first launch, Banshee suggests your desktop's music folder. You can choose another folder or skip setup until later. Music is imported only when you confirm, and your files stay where they are by default.
This is an unofficial community preservation build of Banshee 2.6.2. It includes compatibility fixes and restores selected online services. It is not an official release from the original Banshee developers, and not every historical feature or service is supported.
We’ve kept Banshee 2.6.2’s familiar interface, with fixes and a few additions:
For music on USB or other mounted drives, enable removable-media access:
sudo snap connect banshee:removable-media
The drive must be mounted somewhere the snap can access, with suitable file permissions.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install Banshee, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install banshee
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
