Comment 1 for bug 340436

Thanks for reporting this. There have been some upstream fixes to the 1.4 series that have made this better. Could you possibly try the PPA version? It's available here: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa. 1.4 is also available in Jaunty, if you'd rather test there.

For reference, there's still an open bug here, but I'm not sure whether it will cover what you're seeing or not: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541469

Please report back one way or the other so we can proceed accordingly!
