We rely on VLC to load the metadata information, and we can only get what information VLC gives us. Local mp3 files with standard v1 or v2 tagging should work fine, however.

Songbird just doesn’t like certain ID3 tag versions currently… Although, I’m surprised none of your mp3’s got their tag’s read.

i have 5000 mp3, 0 tagg recognize !!!!
it’s very boring, i am actualy using itunes, and i can’t say that your software is great because i can’t understand how i can use a song software without tagg!!!

That's MSVC7.1 stuff. We should have a public build system including makefiles and installer binaries for Mac and Linux in but a few short weeks. Go check the Roadmap I linked from the "Development" page. We have vcproj files. That’s MSVC7.1 stuff.

If VLC can't take it, however, then you shouldn't play naughty with file extensions. :) Thanks for doing the custom site coding, tho. That's slick. Right now?

But is there anyway to edit a particular field for multiple tracks at once? I tried highlighting all the tracks by a specific artist and put the data in, but it only updated for one of the tracks. If there's no way to do this until a future realease, then thanks for everything so far. If there is a way to do this though, could you provide a quick answer in the blog? Thank you for all your hard work and this soon-to-be god-like media player. I tried manually updating the tags and it worked.
