I usually just copy ~/.config/banshee-1, and ~/.gconf/apps/banshee-1 when i'm moving from one computer to the other, if I keep the path of the folders. I get to keep my music library intact with the playlists I have.

The problem with this method is that, the album arts doesn't carry over nicely. You'd have to play every album to get the album art to appear. Anyone knows a workaround, to maybe force banshee to reload all album art?

enter image description here

I saw this, but not quite what my issue is?

I tried banshee --fetch-artwork, but didn't work too well

kenneth@dv7:~$  banshee --fetch-artwork
