Optimization still needs addressing for large libaries. I hope Video Support is coming soon. Or did I miss something? Media Flow 2.3 is a good improvement since now it doesn't get stuck on the same song as you move through the selection. Also the Album cover update doesnt' always update the album cover. I hope to see this program trimmed down even more from the resources so that I can leave Itunes for good. The onscreen scrolling of the albums from Itunes is a nice touch but the scroll bar is effective from Media Flow. I know I am Apple-fied with some things. I have a 32GB Touch, 16GB 3G Iphone, and a 160GB ipod. I think they made some money from me :) I so like the touch features... Keep up the great work!! DOWN WITH ITUNES!! :) So far so good.

Work on the performance aspect foremost (and CD support, PLEASE!). I'll never use the browser, so I could care less how that's coming along. As far as I'm concerned, I'd be overjoyed to see it removed, but, alas, that will never happen. Very impressed with the improvements, though. I can finally work with it. Yes, I agree.

Very impressed with the improvements, though. I can finally work with it.

I'm running a Mac Mini 1.25ghrz maxed at 1GB ram, and with a 35k+ music library, iTunes hogs most of the resources on my computer. If songbird could improve this, I would switch immediately and endorse it full-heartedly. I’m glad to see that you’re taking memory and large library improvements into your design…

Songbird needs to improve its memory usage. It would be better to leave out the firefox or firefox wannabe web browser and focus on the media player only. Linux needs a good media player g*d damn. Nice Work I Agree With Pacsum..

It's great to see you guys focusing on performance enhancements as I like it yet can't use it since it freezes and bogs the computer too much because of my big media library. I got the mail about this release so will try out this new version :) Just dropping a comment as well.

Im downloading 0.6rc2 right now. My library contains 26500+ tracks, and the ONLY player that has been coping with it is Rhythmbox. I've tried "Listen", Amarok, Exaile, BMP, BMPx, Quojote (or someting like that) and some more. Songbird haven't been up to par with Rhythmbox in library performance, but hopefully this will let me move over to Songbird for good. Keeping fingers crossed! A much needed improvement.
