Linux Mint: banshee won't start

[jonnyboysmithy]

I got linux mint just yesterday, I tried to start banshee but alas:

banshee

I have reinstalled but still the same output.
Any ideas?

I think the useful info is: (cut and pasted of the above code)

This version of Banshee was prepared to work with older database versions (=< 43) thus it is too old to support the current version of the database (44).

btw where in the home folder are the settings of banshee stored ? I looked but couldn't find them.

That's pretty funny, I just switched to Mint too and I had the same problem.

I just removed ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db and it works again, however removing that will get rid of the list of songs in banshee and ratings and such too.
