If you stop playback, and then close the Banshee window, it will quit (complete
with controls removal from the Sound Menu). This is part of the Sound Menu
specification.

Hmm, perhaps what needs to be done is to make the File system queue behave more
like the Play Queue, both behaviourally and visually.

Could you check if "Clear on quit" is checked in the File System Queue context
menu? (Right click the File system Queue item in the sidebar)

Title:
  Default action for handling one file should be only playing that file

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Browse a folder in Nautilus containing some audio files.

  Double click on one audio file

  Expected behavior: Banshee should play only that file and then stop.

  Observed behavior: Banshee plays that file, and then other files taken
  from some playlist made of remembered files that were played in the
  past.

  I guess the file you open is automatically added to some "default"
  playlist, or to the last used playlist or something. That is not the
  correct behavior. If the user double clicks one file he wants to play
  one file. If you select a bunch of files and hit Enter, then only
  those files should be played (one after another), not those plus some
  other that have been remembered automatically who-lknows-when without
  the user EVER asking.

  If this is the way Banshee works by design and it is considered a cool
  way of managing music files, then maybe Banshee shouldn't be the
  default player for handling files double-clicked in Nautilus.

  It's not safe to assume that every time a user needs to play an audio
  file he's going to "listen to some music".
