I tried Banshee last night.  The nicest thing I can say about it is
that it has a pretty interface.  :-(  It froze up twice.  The first
time so badly that I had to restart my X server.  :-<  So I uninstalled
it; I don't need the grief.  I've never much liked Rhythmbox or Amarok
-- both of them are buggy.  For my purposes (which admittedly are not
John's), Sonata works just fine for playing music.  Gnomad2 allows me
to create new playlists on my Cowon D2 (though I have yet to get it to
see the external SDHC memory card).
