Well, nobody sent me the memo, but last month simplehelp.net wrote a really nice article on everything you need to know to get your iPod working all nice and friendly with Songbird.
If you’ve had any troubles, this should hopefully straighten you out.

So we got all our unpleasant crossplatform issues somewhat worked out. The app seems much more stable on Mac and Linux, now, which is certainly better than the last time we went for blessings.
On the Mac, there’s still this one issue where bringing up any non-modal dialogs (like the Jump-to) or switching skins or windows (like to Miniplayer) will cause the app to crash — so be careful of that as you go.
And test test test! If we’re the only ones filing bugs, this whole 0.3 thing is going to take forever. We need YOUR help to get done!

Unfortunately, we’re having extended issues with our Mac and Linux builds, so we’re only putting our seal of approval on this morning’s Win32 Nightly.
Hopefully we’ll figure out our crossplatform worries soon, but we had to decide that the other 80% of our userbase deserves to be told there’s a build worth trying and posting bugs against.
Things to gaze upon in wonderment:
And remember: Bugzilla is your friend. Love it, squeeze it, touch it.

Some great hackers are currently working on making a skin to better support the Right-To-Left languages (Farsi, Arabic, Hebrew, etc) available in Songbird, and they’re using our Bugzilla to keep us aware of their progress:

If this is an important feature to you, you should post your support in that bug! That lets the people working on it know how much their work matters, and lets us keep an eye on all of it to know better how to produce the features most important to you.
And anyone else out there working on any kind of Extension, Feathers, or what-not, do please make a Bugzilla entry in the Extensions product and we’ll be overjoyed to provide whatever assistance you require and introduce our users to you when you’re ready to show your progress.
Development in a vacuum is totally boring.

Having issues making Songbird get up and go under Linux? And didn’t you choose Ubuntu because it was supposed to make all that Linux mess easier?
Well, today is your lucky day, friend.
Those wild feline hackers over at Psychocats have put together a very simple script that will wget the 0.2.5 for your proper architecture and install it into your launcher menu:

Go give it a try, and then tell them how much you love them!
