Add these features please:

1. When songbird is the active window, hitting letter keystrokes activates the search field and it should automatically search for that entry on the library.

2. After songbird filters the entry in the search field, allow scrolling through the filtered entries in the library directly via up and down keystrokes without the need of clicking the mouse on the list.

3. Hitting Enter after scrolling through the list plays the song and loads back all the song entries in the library/playlist.

These are Amarok features and I find them very handy. I hope Songbird will have them in the next realease.

Thank Your for this great software!

I’m having the same problem as cellarmation. Three panes, but library does not work since I installed 1.0rc1 over 0.7 No matter how many times I uninstall it to get my old 0.7 back. It does not appear to be fixed with 1.0rc2 either. Any suggestions?

@ xgman

The firstrun/default addons for 1.0.0rc1/rc2 are also compatible with nightly trunk 1.1.0pre builds. Other addons by non-Songbird authors would simply need to bump their version support max in their rdf files to work on 1.0.0pre if they do not now. You can leave a comment an author of an addon via their page on the addons site.

Sorry, I’m pretty new to Linux (Ubuntu 8.10). Trying to install the Songbird 1.0 rc1. Can’t get it to install. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Do any of the recent nightly builds or RC1 or RC2 etc support the add-ons that the latest nightly builds do not support which seems like most of them I’ve tried. Also will the older add-ons work again upon release of Songbird 1.0 or will they all have to be re-written? Thanks.

There are some specific songs that are apparently played by Songbird but I don’t hear nothing or it sounds like interference, I can’t find the patron of these song, what can I do?

@Dan

Needless to say we haven’t run into that problem. Have you ever used Songbird before? If so, you may want to start with a fresh profile (Songbird -ProfileManager) will do the trick.
