- When viewing your library of music lets say you scroll to the G’s and stop then then switch to a playlist, or downloads on the left bar.

- The next time you switch back to library, “Songbird” doesn’t remember your scroll position, or place you back in the G’s where you left off. This gets quite annoying having to scroll down your whole list every time.

- I know there’s a search feature to find songs, but that can get quite annoying searching for every song.

I’m afraid Songbird 1.0 deleted 5 gigs of tracks from my iPod as well.
iPod 3rd generation. 10 gig model.
I’ve also found the player to be unstable, having to force quit multiple times this morning.
MacPro 3 Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, OS 10.5.5.
Thought you should know.

“You can absolutely count on us re-introducing video support in a future release down the road!”

I hope “down the road” comes sooner rather than later. : ) My large music video collection is just as important to me as general audio playback. A primary reason I’ve switched from other players is songbird’s support for video (even if it has been a fairly basic implementation thus far…) I’ll be sticking to the 0.7beta until this has been resolved.

Every time I execute songbird it keeps showing me the licence agreement, the media import and all of the inicial parameters stuff. It seems it believe it’s the first time I open it. It doesn’t save my preferences :/

Thanks for your efforts. After I updated Songbird to a nightly version my problem is solved.

Thanks guys!!!

I have a problem, when you play a song it should play the songs following it in the album even if you change the filter. This is currently working in RC2, however when you highlight a different song it reads it as the now playing and plays the songs following it. I also posted this on get satisfaction, but with no reply.

thanks, the program is coming along quite nicely.

The problem seems to be with the LyricMaster extension, it doesn’t let me fetch multiple lyrics with the batch options for different artist. Trying to do it manually artist after artist seems to work. I don’t have a bugzilla account, otherwise I’ll send them the bug

@André Ki

We think we’ve solved your problem in what will be RC3, stay tuned. (or try a nightly build if you’re impatient )
