Songbird is nice, I’ve been using happily nostly it but it seems to refuse to watch my mp3 folder. Having this feature is important to me so I’ll try Mediamonkey now or maybe I’ll have to (nausea) go back to iTunes.

I absolutely adore Songbird & have since version 1.0. There are two issues I have right now:

-I can’t report bugs. I try to sign up, but I never get a confirmation email to register an account. I know its not really related to Songbird, but it flows into my next issue.
-Shotcast has stopped working. I was running Mint 6 and Songbird 1.1.2 and it was working wonderfully. All of a sudden one day it just stopped and I get an error that says “This is probably a text file”. I figured ok, no problem. Mint 7 is out soon & I’ll be doing a full reinstall anyway. I did so. Voila, radios came back. For the first play only. Once I shut the system down & brought it back up exact same error. I have Songbird on Windows and it does not appear to occur there, just on Linux.

You guys have an amazing player. You truly do I recommend it to anyone I can, but I so miss my Shoutcast stations!! Last.FM is a great addition and fills in for the time being, but its just not what I want.

It would be really nice to be able to burn a playlist onto a cd. I don’t know why that isn’t available. It’s really nice to be able to make mix Cd’s and I’m not able to do that with Songbird. Is there ever going to be an upgrade for this?

What a waste of time. Doesn’t play imported iTunes. What amateurish crap. FAIL.

see people write watch folders have come back, I was like, “uhm, I’m sure i’ve seen a watch folder option”, and I had been searching days trying to find it. Glad to see it back.

I’m sorry, but I can’t use this 1.1.1

The Search lag bug is just too annoying, even with 13,5k numbers.

I did enjoy 1.0 much more But I’ll ofcouse be using this awesome software when the bug is gone.

Oh I see people write watch folders have come back, I was like, “uhm, I’m sure i’ve seen a watch folder option”, and I had been searching days trying to find it. Glad to see it back.

Great work here!
But please include “compilations” (like in itunes) in your next release!
I have many electronic music compilations and navigating through them could be much easier with the tag… must-have!!11

And the shoutcast support is far from perfect…
