Banshee 2.6 and Lyrics Extension Fix

So I am currently running Mint 15.  I installed and enabled the banshee-extension-lyrics but found the player wouldn't play music with the extension enabled.  It would play if I disabled it, restarted Banshee, and then enabled it, but the problem returns when you quit and restart Banshee.  Anyway, long story short, I enabled the the banshee repository, https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa, so to install the latest version (2.6.1 now) and that fixed the problem.  I had to force the new version to install using Synaptic.  To do this, in Synaptic, select the application, from menu Package > Force Version, and select the proper version.  Now I can listen to music and have my lyrics too.
