hi,
I want to get rid of banshee and replace it with another mp3 player but when I go to synaptic to remove banshee from there (right mouse clicking doesn't pull any menus btw, when I right click on items in the Applcations menu, it opens them instead) I have 2 options: remove, and completely remove.
which one should I choose and what's the difference between the 2??

Re: remove and completely remove
Remove, deletes the program from your computer but leaves system-wide configuration files in place. So should you install it again, those will be there still with any adjustments you amde. Completely remove, deletes the program from your computer and also deletes these system-wide configuration files. So should you install it again, you will get a completely fresh set of system-wide configuration files.
Note that neither of these delete user preferences for Banshee from your home folder. I believe those are stored in the .config/banshee-1 folder (to display hidden folders like this, press Ctrl+H in your file manager).

Question: do playlists get memorized and re-added to banshee if I only remove the program and then install it again?
Re: remove and completely remove
Playlist is a user preference, so doesn't matter how you remove. User preferences are never touched by a package manager.
