accomplish the functions outlined above, adding a lot of other features
on top of that. All of those can be used by extensions or standalone
user interface clients.
You can have a look at the Booksmarks extension as an example on how
those functions are used through the Banshee API. It's in the main
source tree, in src/Extensions/Banshee.Bookmarks/.
Muinshee is an example of a different user interface client, you can
find it in src/Clients/Muinshee/.
About developement tools, monodevelop (http://monodevelop.com/) is a
pretty nice IDE. You can use it to open, browse and compile the banshee
source. And it's the lowest cost : free !
I hope this helps !
