Comment 9 for bug 1447956

my workaround on vivid:

download 2.6.2-3

https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/banshee/download

completely deinstall 2.9.*** banshee via synaptic.
Doubleclick downloaded 2.6.2-3 and install with Softwarecenter.

Everything works as it should. Hope it works for you too.
