Before we all started to eat too much and end up in food enduced coma’s, we’d thought we’d put up another nightly to test some more fixes for 0.2.1. Updated VLC to version 0.8.6-test2a, a few fixes here and there.
Head over to the nightly builds page, to pick it up and, do please remember the cranberry sauce this time? I mean, I know you don’t like it, but some people (who shall remain nameless, yes, you know who you are) like their slice of sauce from a can.
There’s sadly no update for Mac Intel yet, problems building the mighty VLC. Enjoy!
Update: [Matt] The Mac Intel nightly is now available. Apparently Automake got confused somewhere between 0.8.6-test1 and 0.8.6-test2.

Hi everyone!
It seems like we forgot to apply a slew of patches to our mozilla mac power pc sdk which definitely makes the ppc build less than pleasant to work with.
We’ve already fixed this issue and there’s a new installer for Songbird 0.2 RC1 Mac OS X ppc. However, if you downloaded RC1 shortly after it’s release, you might want to download it again.
Here’s how to determine if you should download it again:
- Go to Help -> About Songbird
- Look at the Build ID.
- Original RC1 Build ID – 20060926201339
- Revised RC1 (RC1.1) Build ID – 20060927174319

Woo! MacOS X Songbird doing the chirpy dance.
The current build of it now plays back thanks to the VLC 0.8.5 plugin on both ppc and intel mac’s. I’ve been trying to hack the QuickTime plugin in there, but, there seems to be a bug preventing me from finishing this right now. It’s unclear as to if it’s just the QuickTime plugins weird re-initialization on SetURL that’s causing issues or that html:embed in a XUL document doesn’t work quite like it’s supposed to. More on this soon…
It still needs a few CSS fixes here and there and we still have quite a few bugs to close before 0.2 but, this playback on Mac thing is a great step in the right direction

I’ve been holding off on making a blog post because I felt like I wanted to post more than just words. I wanted to post content. Because content is what Songbird is all about. Why is Songbird all about content? Well, it’s probably because we’re musical and visual art junkies.
We are all hopelessly addicted to auditive and visual candy, and you probably wouldn’t be here if you weren’t at least an avid appreciator of such candy varieties as well
Ok, so what about the content?
Here it is, 66m02s of uninterrupted content for Songbird. Yum. It’s a mix of progressive house, trance, indie rock remixes, punk remixes, techno and hard house, recorded live on March 2nd 2006. Track selection, arrangement and mixing provided by the vinyl junky in me.
The office crowd seems to like it, I hope you do too.

P.S. If you have a subwoofer, do please turn it on
