Banshee (media Player) - Plugins

Plugins

Banshee's plugin-capable architecture makes the software extensible and customizable. As of 2012 stable plugins include:

• Audioscrobbler: Adds the capability of reporting played songs to a user's Last.fm playlist, and play last.fm radio stations (user's library, tags, similar to, etc.).
• DAAP music sharing: Allows sharing of music libraries with iTunes and other DAAP-compatible music software. The current version of Banshee is only partially compatible with iTunes 7, allowing iTunes to open a Banshee library, but not vice-versa.
• iPod manager: Allows the transferring of songs, videos, and album art to and from the device.
• Metadata searcher using Musicbrainz: Automatically retrieves missing and supplementary metadata for library items, including album art.
• Music Recommendations using Last.fm: Recommends music based on the currently playing song.
• Mini-Mode plugin: Provides a small window with minimal playback controls and song information.
• Multimedia keys support in GNOME: Banshee can be controlled via multimedia keys as configured through GNOME.
• Notification Area Icon: Adds an icon to the notification area in GNOME.
• Podcasting: Enables Banshee to subscribe to podcast feeds, which are updated on a regular basis.
• Radio: Provides support for streaming Internet radio stations.
