Hello! We fixed a few additional bugs from our previous beta 2 build for the Songbird Desktop client. A full run-down of those bugs is available in the Release Notes. Those of you with the b2 build will be able to update to b3 using the Check for Updates mechanism in the application. Shiny new 1.10.0b3 installers (yes, including the Linux installer) are up on the Nightly Builds page.
Developers: documentation on the new Playlist Commands interface is available and posted here on our wiki: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Recipe_Book/Extensions_and_Core/Playlist_Buttons_(aka_Playlist_Commands). Let us know if you run into questions or concerns.
Let’s communicate! Bugzilla! Get Satisfaction! Yay!

Hello fellow birders,
It’s with great pleasure that I announce the release of Songbird v1.3 for Android. For this release we focused primarily on localizations. We now support 26 languages. Yowza! There’s also a boatload of bug fixes. Sweet!
As always, we really want your feedback and help. We are looking for any suggestions you have for the translations. If you find strings that you don’t agree with please go to our online translation tool and suggest better ones. 
The online tool we use is called Crowdin. To submit translations you will have to request to be invited into the translation group for the language you wish to help with. You can request to be invited here. Logging in is easy using your Facebook or Google account. If you don’t have either of those you can create an account with Crowdin.
As usual, it may take a few hours for the Android Market page to refresh if browsing from your desktop. If you want to update as soon as possible, please view the page from your Android device.
p.s. Happy 4th!

Hello fellow birders,
We’ve been hard at work adding support for more than 20 languages for this next version. We have translations for most of the application and would like your help to refine them.
We’re using an online translation tool called Crowdin to help with the process. You can find our project here.
For now, the project is by invitation only and does have translation moderation turned on so you’ll need to sign up for an account and ask to join the project. If you already use Facebook or Google you may also use either of those to login. It may take us up to a day to approve your request so please be patient.
There’s also a slew of bug fixes included in this beta and there will be plenty more by the time the final release is complete.
To install this build you will need to enable installing applications from ‘Unknown sources’. This setting can be found under Settings => Applications. This build will upgrade the current 1.2 release and you’ll be able to upgrade out of it when 1.3 final is released.
If you run into bugs, let us know! Either on the blog or on getsatisfaction.
Thanks again for all your support, we appreciate it very much.
Download the beta.

We’ve squashed quite a few bugs since our initial 1.10 beta and we’re ready for you to take another look. There’s nothing new to highlight in this version aside from the fact that, overall, it’s better than the last beta. Again, our major focus for the 1.10 release is a complete overhaul of how we transfer and manage music on your portable devices; more details are available in this blog post if you’re curious about what we’ve changed and why.
You can download beta 2 from our Nightly Builds page. If you’re already running Songbird 1.10.0b1, just go to your Help menu and run “Check for Updates.” Take a look at the Release Notes if you’d like to see what’s left open and what we’ve fixed since the last beta.
Bug reports can be submitted via Bugzilla, or if it’s easier, just get in touch with us on Get Satisfaction.

Hello fellow birders,
We know some of you have been dying for an update and here it is! We tried to incorporate as much of your feedback as possible and we hope you’re pleased with the results. Here are some of the features you’ll have access to if you update to the latest (and therefore greatest 
) version.
- More responsive navigation and transitions
- Landscape support
- Better headset controls support (single, double and triple press support)
- Reduced memory and CPU usage
We were also busy squashing bugs. As always, please let us know what you think and what you’d like to see next.
We already know that we’ll be localizing the application in more than 20 languages. We’ll be requesting some help once we’re ready for community translators to jump in. Stay tuned.
As usual, the Android Market website will take a few hours to update but you can upgrade directly from your phone right now.
