Public bug reported: I did not have this problem with Ubuntu 11.10, but since installing 12.04, banshee will freeze every time I switch songs or every other song. It returns control after one to two minutes or so, but happens so often that it is becoming unusable as my music player.
I noticed these warnings when running banshee --debug: [1 Warn 18:17:38.242] Failed to load media-player-info file for 1 And also: [8 Warn 18:17:39.401] Failed to start DAAP client - System.Exception: No Zeroconf providers could be found or initialized.
