It’s difficult to come up with the correct words that can truly express the frustrations that arose from this bug making it into the iPod Add-On. This is especially true when attempting to describe the frustrations of our users (while using PG rated language ).
On the other hand, it’s also hard to express [...]

Hi Everyone,
It’s been brought to our attention that the iPod Add-On has some really nasty issues which may cause it to delete content from an iPod without asking the user first. Because of this we are pulling this add-on from the list of recommended add-ons.
If you have this add-on currently installed we highly suggest [...]

For the past month I’ve enjoyed getting reacquainted with mixing after many months away from the turntables. It had been so long that I had almost forgotten how fun it really was.

MTP Device Support for Windows

MTP Device Support for Windows Screenshot (2008-02-29)

One of the big features we’ll be releasing as part of Songbird 0.5 is MTP device support.

MTP, or Media Transfer Protocol, is used by many types of devices these days. It ends up being pretty awesome because it enables device manufacturers to create devices that can all have the same great user experience when interacting with the contents and managing it from Songbird! Sweet.

Initial support for MTP devices includes manually managing the contents of your device, managing playlists and transferring media files to/from your device.

So far we’ve gotten Sansa, Creative, Nokia and HTC devices to work within Songbird. Awesome.

I’d also like to mention the names of all of the engineers that worked on this feature, without their dedication, none of this would’ve been possible. So, without further adieu, here is your MTP device team: Aus, David, Erik, Keisuke, Mark and Steven!

Tell us what you think! :) You can try it out by getting the latest nightly and add-on here.

P.S. If you are a device manufacturer and you would like Songbird to support your MTP device, do get in touch with us.

0.2.1 Final has landed… along with my turkey overdose.

The final version of 0.2.1 has just been released!

You can download it here.

If you want to be hip like all us birders, you can also fire up your 0.2 version of Songbird and let it auto-magically update.

I’d also recommend spinach salad as a possible cure for your turkey overdose. You can even put cranberry sauce on it if you just can’t go without it.
