Currently Unscheduled Feature Requests

i see there is "Support for media sharing" does that mean you can access other peoples itunes shared music and maybe even copy them over to your songbird

Hey Songbird, do you plan to integrate a feature which is saving date & time of each playcount? for example i would love to use this for creating smart playlists, i.e. "most played songs three weeks ago". not total playcount but playcount in that timeframe.

If you guys would integrate support for ASIO or at least true MME on the Windows platform Songbird would likely convert a lot of professional users. Right now Foobar is the only player on Windows that has great sound, nice features and good ASIO support. CoreAudio on Mac is not a issue, but on Windows, most players have been forcing us to do the aural equivalent to "selling our children" just to use our quality converters through DirectSound/Kernel. edited 21:22, 1 Oct 2008

it would be rockin if you could make dynamic local playlists like exaile has where it will play similar songs to the one you initially play. That way you could click on one song and it will go through your library and play similar songs. Thanks

Visualizer?

I've been using Songbird since the very early days. Recently I've upgraded my home entertainment set up. I am still under the thumb of Windows Media Player because this seems to be the only [easy] solution to streaming media to my Playstation 3, in the other room. I would be amazed if Songbird could effectively provide a "Media Server" solution to interface with the PS3 [and xbox, i guess.. ugh] so that I could play mp3 and .avi files... Perhaps a lot to ask, but surely there are others in my situation. Thanks for listening!

i have my computer set up in my bedroom so it would be great if i could use songbird as an alarm clock (to wake up with my music)

I normaly use the search library Function to narrow down the list of albums and artists to the one I am searching. When I have found it, I click on the Album/Artist to see their Media Library entries. However, if I delete the string I entered into the Search Library Field now, my selection gets resetet as well. I would prefer the Media Library to keep the selected Genre/Artist/Album, even if I reset the search string.

I see DAAP and LAN sharing as one of the more important feature requests that must be implemented as soon as possible. Too long have we been dependent on iTunes for organizing and sharing music. Besides, iTunes for Windows is very bad, because half the time, DAAP sharing on iTunes doesn't work (maybe it's Windows Vista that's not working) I recommend the developers take a look at the small open-sourced program OurTunes (saveourtunes.com) to see if their DAAP access library can be integrated into SongBird.

It would be great to add support for multiple genres.

I'd love to have some sort of relative volume control so Songbird would remember which tracks in my library I want louder. If I adjust my overall volume so it's right for Nirvana, a quiet Bach piece disappears, and if I turn it up to hear the Bach, the next rock song blasts me out of my chair.

Thx for this great product. What I'm still missing is a feature for renaming audio files/folders according to the file tags to keep your library together. also would be nice if you could specify a media folder, like in itunes, where files are organized automatically.

I'd like to suggest four things. 1) Support for "out of tracks" like iTunes and Winamp has (10 of 18, etc.) in the filter pane. 2) Additional metadata support that iTunes has. 3) Ability to sort song titles/artist/album artist/album/etc like iTunes does, thus allowing for multiple artists in an album (e.g. box sets). 4)Option to ignore the "The" portion of artists and sort them accordingly (e.g. The Eagles would be treated as Eagles and sorted in the E section). edited 11:44, 1 Dec 2008

I'd love to see support for airport/airport express for Mac users. I don't know how easy this would be, but that's the primary thing that's keeping me from switching to the new player.

The one thing making me use firefox instead of this is: There's no bookmark tool bar! It wouldn't kill to put one in, would it?
