Eventually I got fed up with Banshee and switched over to Rhythmbox. The latter does not have the same stability issues (i.e., I can actually listen to my music or online radio for longer than 10-20 minutes at a time), not to mention I appreciate Rhythmbox's better GNOME Shell integration.
I still have Banshee installed, though, if anyone wants me to help out with additional debugging work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883023 Title: Banshee silently crashes during play Status in Banshee Music Player: Incomplete Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Banshee working normally on the background, crashes mid tune (apparently on any tune) after a while.
