Thanks Parthan and Onkar for your replies. I had the banshee from the main repos installed already. I installed the banshee-1 package from the ppa, so now I have two of them. I don't want to remove the main banshee package, parthan as the songs are rated, and banshee maintains a database of the songs. The new banshee-1 that I installed also automatically created or used the already existing database. My fear was that the ratings would disappear if I simply installed the new version over the old one. Since I already installed the banshee-1, I can confirm that this is true.
I don't suppose that will happen if I were to wait for the official upgrade with the new distribution (sorry Onkar if i am assuming too much). In other words, the softwares in the ppa repos are only for trial purposes and not for final use!! regards, Biswajit aka orthodoc -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
