* I heard that Banshee occupied less space on disk and that it can do
disc-ripping and burning too, helping to get rid of both Sound-Juicer
and Serpentine -- even more space-saving.
* One other thing is that Rhythmbox can't do tag editing, which I hear
Banshee can.
* There shouldn't be a worry about the Mono stack since there's
already Tomboy and F-Spot in 6.10.
* There were many complaints about Rhythmbox's stability

These reasons cause my surprise why Rhythmbox was excluded.
