Whoever it was that recommended Clementine music player, thanks,
        it's really good!  I've been quite dissatisfied with Banshee and
        Clementine's just wizard.  I particularly like the way tracks
        fade over when changing.  I did have a bit of trouble making it
        my default - it can't be done by opening a file and remembering
        the choice - and it didn't seem to want to upgrade, so I removed
        it and installed the latest (1.0), and  I had to alter the
        mimeapps file:  
        
            
        gedit
              ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
          
          
           I simply replaced "banshee" with "clementine" in the
            browser page that opened for this, and this seemed to do the
            trick for making it the default audio app.  
            
            
            If you like good music, then try Radio Belbury
              on mixcloud.com.   Marvellous.   Cheers.    Jack.
