So doesn't seem doable in Songbird right now so more people would need to support the above ideas for the Songbird team to include that feature in a future release.

I had a look at that before but the only thing that really stands out is the custom playlists, which doesn't seem to be a major reason for a change.
I'm not trying to put it down but I am interested as to why I should change from WMP or even winamp for it.
If it came up with something similar to the senseme playlists on the new Sony Walkmans then I would definately consider it.

Good good.Ah cheers MarcLister, good to know theres something on it at least.
Looks liek this will be my media player for linux at least
Don't know this senseme playlists but why not give Songbird a go? It might have a better UI or work better for you, in such a way that we can't tell you about unless you try it for yourself.I had a look at that before but the only thing that really stands out is the custom playlists, which doesn't seem to be a major reason for a change.

It doesent matter anymore, my ipod was plugged in already, i only had to unplug and replug and it worked.
I know. I thought the same.

I may have a go in the near future, I was just wondering if there was some major breakthrough in the the program or something.
The walkman analyses the song beat/tune and sticks it in a specific channel, like "extreme", "classical" etc. It's brilliant and since I got my walkman I have had it on that the entire time.
iTunes, Mozilla?
Two of the worst programs around imo.

Er it's written in Songbird code?I may have a go in the near future, I was just wondering if there was some major breakthrough in the the program or something.
I think he meant Mozilla as in the foundation and not the Mozilla browser but more the Mozilla people behind Firefox.iTunes, Mozilla?

Are there any ways to add album art and information to songs quickly?
Just installed this, got a lot of potential. Love the Flickr integration, wish it could be switched to fullscreen mode and it pulled in more photos.
Two things I really want to see if this Album List get updated for 1.0. And proper Last.FM integration like Banshee.

At the bottom of http://getsongbird.com/features/ it has a Beta section. Album art will be forthcoming in a future Songbird release.
As it stands there aren't a lot of reasons for switching to SongBird. I think what I, and the others backing it, are excited about is that it's a free, open source iTunes rival that will, hopefully, be much more community orientated, frequently updated and have huge potential for addons much the same vain as Firefox.
If SongBird can do for music what FireFox has done for browsing, i'll be very happy indeed
It's still early days, but this 1.0 release is a huge step in the right direction, and so far it;s showing excellent potential!

Yeah Songbird doesn't have much over say Winamp right now but it does have a lot of potential which is what is exciting us.

I remember using it when it first came out and it wasn't too good. Glad to hear it's improved quite a bit, i'll give it another shot once it gets to 2.0 or something.
