Celettu's posted a review on Arch with XFCE
While Ubuntu and Mint are both excellent, and very user-friendly, they both had a problem with Rhythmbox import errors. Basically every song with a strange character in the name (e.g. Alizée A quoi rève une jeune fille) gave an import error, even though it was imported correctly. Switching to Banshee didnt help much: it only found 214 songs out of close to 7000. Mint, being Ubuntu based, did the exact same thing.
Banshee in Arch found my collection just fine, but with GNOME startup took way too long. Theres still some kind of issue there, because Ive had the same problem since 2.26. Arch with XFCE proved to be the winner though, being fast, functional and beautiful, all at the same time. Some things take a bit more time to configure, like multimedia keyboard button shortcuts, which should have worked out of the box with banshee, but didnt, things like that. Nothing major.
