I mostly use songbird to play mp3 that I ripped using lame under linux. Some of them won’t play and I just get an error on the player area on top.

They play fine using mpg321.

Using RC3 on Slackware with most recent gstreamer.

Hopefully Audioscrobbler works better with this release. For some reason it was submitting tracks on a 24hr clock instead of 12hr. A lot of my submissions didn’t make it through because of it…

***edit***
yup, werks better

Hopefully, we’ll be able to support extended formats on the Mac without requiring the user to install weird software. Until then, there’s solutions already out there from intrepid individuals.

As a Mac user I’d really like to see Songbird have Ogg Vorbis support! Otherwise, there’s almost no reason to use it over iTunes.

Please add ogg support if not yet planned.

Well, the whole point of all the searching function is so you can go out and find lots of different music by people you know and people you don’t know yet… and get lots more CDs!

(of course, we don’t have a working GPL-friendly CD device yet… but that will come in time).

Was a stupid question.

But anyway I’m having problem with RC3, it is using 70%-80% of CPU all the time, whilst RC2 stays mostly under 15%.

Rock on guys!, I had made some space in my Sunday to test drive the new Songbird

Let’s see how are those little bugs today and start helping to smash them all.

I absolutely love the new homepage in Songbird (And the new website design ain’t too shabby either!). The pie chart is a cool idea and the search function is sweet too. Think I’m gonna have to rip my CD’s just to play with it!
