I'm sure Pandora especially would be a challenge, but it'd be awesome.
Until then, I'll just keep them open in tabs...
An addon/plugin/other that enables the display pic in IM clients (MSN, etc.) to change to the album art of what is currently playing in Songbird.
(There's a program that exists called CD Art Display, but currently there is no Songbird support.)
Example:
In iTunes, you only have the library and playlists.
It would be nice to see a feature to where if I wanted to sort Albums into multiple "libraries", then I could just select one and it would have the sorted Albums.
Such as, Albums by single artists in one Library, where Albums such as Now Music that is made of multiple artists would be in another Library.
end of comment.
If iTunes has the iTunes store, when is Songbird going to a have a killer store fully integrated?
<Album Artist>\<Album Year> - <Album Title>\
or:
<Disc Number><Track Number> - <Artist> - <Title>
Perhaps the most straight forward option would be an advanced text box to override the simple GUI currently used. The text box would take some sort of tags (such as above or %title% or...) like so many other renaming software does.
"compilation" feature from itunes... thats a must have for usability!!!
and
on the bottom statusbar something like "xxx of xxx songs, xxx MB/GB" like in itunes...
ah and just a minor one..
able to see more information of the mp3: BITRATE etc... (in the info/metadata view)
and for the airport requests: use pulseaudio on linux or on mac/win use AIRFOIL :P i do that and it works! edited 07:04, 4 Dec 2009
In the status bar next to where it says X songs please also put something along the lines of X hours, X minutes, X seconds. Making playlists for a specific length is quite difficult otherwise.
(ie play all the songs on the album in the correct order, when the album is done chose the next album at random)
