Sometimes you may see a note that something works for example in Mint 9 & 10 but how do you know it will work in Mint 11 ?
You could say install it and see but if it failed to work could this not cause problems with your OS ?

So (in this case) it would be guaranteed to work.
If something works in Mint 9, then you would expect it to work in Mint 11 - although if there is a Mint 11 version, you should use that.
However, if something works in Mint 11, it may not work in Mint 9.
Even if you are installing something from a totally different distro, it stands a very good chance of working properly (see the alien package).
Make sure that you install 32 bit/ 64 bit according to your OS.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

If in doubt get it from the repos of the distro you're using and you can expect it to work.
If you're using Mint 11 you'll have Ubuntu 11.04 and Mint 11 repositories in your sources.list(s).
If you choose to use unofficial sources like PPAs they should specify which distro/release they're intended for.
Or you can grab the source and compile it yourself.

I thought as much, Might give that a go Instead then, Thanks.
A patch has been accepted that fixes this for most cd's, though it's not likely to show up in natty at this point.
While not in the 11.10 banshee atm it should be included before release. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/813836
