When you write a bug against a device, it is very important to include not only the OS and Songbird app version that you are using, but also the Addon version and device model.

Here is a template/example you can paste into the top of your Bugzilla descriptions that would help Songbird QA reproduce your issue more easily for a quick turnaround/response:

OS: Mac i686 10.5.2
SONGBIRD: 0.6rc3 2008060323
ADDON: MTP Device Support 1.0.4
DEVICE: Sansa View

Just cut/paste, and update the app version, OS, addon type/version and device model as appropriate.

Happy bug hunting!

A primary focus of the 0.6 release is improved performance when importing media and sorting large playlists. Some of these code updates have landed in these blessed builds.
