I have to say, even though I am very new to this software, the 0.6pre release is really darn good. I’ve just converted from iTunes (thank god) and I’m really happy with were this program is going. The speed and handling of a large library is a killer. Maby some work on the looks would be a welcome improvement on for 0.7?

Gr8 job!!!! I used the 0.5 version found it really very slow and sluggish. This 0.6 release is really gr8!!! Btw I think a bit more work is needed when it comes to CPU consumption and RAM consumption. If these two aspects are taken care of, i think songbird has the best future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If only there were some sort of bugfix blog, like the Burning Edge for Firefox, a blog that I’ve always found to be helpful for pointing out exactly what’s new/revised/fixed in the code. I understand that this build isn’t too screenshot-y, but I still yearn for something more substantial than “better performance, check it out.”

I just find the default skin a lot too dark, and there’s actually no usable/nice brighter skin available, and I can’t wait for a Linux MTP extension but Songbird is just going to be THE “alternative” media player on Windows and the major media player on Linux, like Firefox today.
In my opinion it just needs a skin that looks more “general”, more rallying.

Just gave this a try with my 60GB iTunes library and it looks much better than previous releases! Peformance is much better and it seems stable thus far. Can’t wait for 0.6 propper, I’d love to ditch iTunes and Windows for good.

Thanks!

Thanks. Great news! I tried 0.5(and 0.3, i think, for a short while) and found it rather slow for a 50GB music library. I will check this one out.
