Title:
  Banshee's Library Watcher should be disabled by default in Ubuntu
  11.04

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  The Library Watcher in Banshee is a relatively new feature, and it
  still lacks a good deal of polish.  In its current state, the problems
  it causes far outweigh the benefit it provides.  In fact, I'm fairly
  certain that in vanilla Banshee, this extension is disabled by default
  because of some of these issues.[1]  I would strongly encourage the
  Ubuntu folks to disable this extension by default in the version of
  Banshee that ships with Natty.

  An overview of the issues:

  - The Library Watcher has been known to cause very high CPU usage and severe memory leaks[2]
  - When importing from CDs[3], devices[4], and even regular folders[5], the Library Watcher leads to duplicate imports
  - What's worse, when importing with the Library Watcher + the "Copy Files to Folders" option, some files may be missed altogether.[6][5]

  In my opinion, having a "watched directory" is a desirable feature,
  but much less important than the ability to accurately import music
  from CDs, devices, and folders.
