Unable to Write CD??
For some reason I am unable to write CDs now. It work earlier :-(
Rebooting has solved my problem.
When I put the a blank CD in and it is working it will recognize the CD at which point I say ignore and than go to where is the ISO is located and write it directly to the CD.

Adding the Sansa e140 to HAL
Found the 10-usb-music-player.fdi file.
It has an entry for Sansa e130. Copied that. Changed the name to Sansa e140.
stan@stan-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 062a:0001 Creative Labs Notebook Optical Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
stan@stan-laptop:~$
The vendor ID is the same; however, the product id has changed from 7301 to 7302.
Save file in ~\tmp
This is the link that I was getting my information from http://blog.pcode.nl/?p=176
Copying the new file to its correct location and rebooting:
stan@stan-laptop:~/tmp$ sudo cp 10-usb-music-players.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/
Password:
stan@stan-laptop:~/tmp$
I worked the icon has now changed to an mp3 player.
What does Banshee think of it now?
The setting are still wrong. It is trying to write Ogg files.
Delete the .files.
I crashed Banshee when I unmount the player outside of it and than tried to eject within Banshee.
Now Banshee sees nothing :-(

Banshee Problems
Banshee is really running slow.
The slowness seems to occur when I am creating a new song list or when I change the name of the song list.
CPU1 and CPU2 seems to swapping back and forth between each other, but one of the seems to always be at 100%.
I was going to try to use Banshee to copy the new Steven Curtis Chapman music over to my MP3 Player, however, it seem totally locked up.
Should I kill Banshee and started it again?
It is not responding. Forcing it to quite.
That was quick.
It come back quick also. But the new play list is missing as is the new audio that I just loaded.
Also the Sansa e140 is still set to encode to Ogg Vorbis which is not what I want. I want it to be mpeg.

Updating to Gutsy Gibbon
The normal update manager has problem getting to the Debian site.
I down load install install CD, but it is the wrong I need to download the alternated CD.
At first I could not find the alternate CD. There is a check box below everything. However, this looks just like the other CD but simply lacking Live CD. Humm ;-!
The update web site (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades) says "Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD".
This works.
Upgrading without getting the newest stuff from the internet.
Says that some 3rd party entries for sources.list were disable.
Can re-ebable using 'software-properties' tool or package manager.
May need to enable community maintained software universe to see some packages for which supported has ended.
Cancelled the updatge. Will do later.

Download and burn the alternate installation CD.
Insert it into your CD-ROM drive.
A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:
gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
Or in Kubuntu run the following command using Alt+F2:
kdesu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"OK, I am now waiting for an hour.

Organizing Banshee
I seem unable to simply drag the song to where I can it to be, but I can sort on any column.
Also I can edit the songs metadata.
Changing the preferences so that the metadata is written back to the song if possible.

Adding Banshee
This looks like a nice piece software that will let me write out my selections as mp3s.
This uses GNOME but works well with KDE.
Load all the music in from my home directory.
