Currently Unscheduled Feature Requests

can you please add PDF reading mode to the table of features . The idea is using Grid view of mediaflow view for people to organize their pdf's and djvu's, whicha are supported as plugins only at the moment . This would really make songbird challenge itunes .

see the screenshots :

can you please also make the songbird library have different folders like itunes (podcast, videos, pdf's etc.) instead of just one big music library . Or maybe an opt in/out of one big library folder .

I'd like to see Replay Gain adjustment in songbird.

I'd like to see support for some other radio stations, especially Slacker and Pandora.

I'm sure Pandora especially would be a challenge, but it'd be awesome.

Until then, I'll just keep them open in tabs...

A request:
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.)

support for smb:// to the watch folder settings for linux.

The one thing that iTunes doesn't have that bothered me is not being able to have multiple folders under the library.

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.

3 words... iPod Touch Support.

end of comment.

Add full, proper integration with eMusic and Magnatune, including full album download support

If iTunes has the iTunes store, when is Songbird going to a have a killer store fully integrated?

How about making the delimiters used by the 'manage' feature editable? This would allow structures such as:

<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.

I work in a professional recording studio. To listen to demos when a writer comes in, they play it on iTunes over our Airport which is then connected to the console. I would like to see support for the Apple Airport so I can stream to an external source wirelessly. This could be integrated into your LAN Sharing update already on the request list. I think that this is one of the few things that only iTunes can do. If you were able to add this to your player, I could delete iTunes and switch completely to Songbird. Thank you.

really simple (hopefully) but important things:

"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

Playlist total duration
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.

I would like to suggest a feature: playlist folders, like the ones in iTunes, to help organise your playlists.

I really want shuffle by album. As soon as I get this I can finally stop using iTunes.

(ie play all the songs on the album in the correct order, when the album is done chose the next album at random)
