Connecting Banshee to Samba Server

Banshee is running on the Mint media player PC and needs to access the music files on the Ubuntu-based server running Samba.
Create a folder on the Mint box /mnt/remote
Mount the remote file system
Point Banshee at /mnt/remote

mkdir /mnt/remote
sudo mount.cifs //Lounge/mhs /mnt/remote -o user=username%password rw noperm

I then added the following to /etc/fstab to mount the remote file system during boot:

#Mount the Samba share for the music on the //Lounge server
//Lounge/mhs /mnt/remote cifs username=username,password=password 0 0
