1.10.0b3 Release Notes

    Songbird 1.10.0b3 (build 2091) is supported on Windows XP, WIndows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.6.

    NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

    • Two-way synchronization between devices and the Songbird library
    • Automatic organization of downloaded and ripped files into an Artist/Album filesystem hierarchy.
    • The PlaylistCommandsBuilders interface has been deprecated. Add-on developers should use the new playlistcommands interface (documentation forthcoming -- see bug 23893).

    BUGS FIXED SINCE 1.10.0b2

    • If a track is transferred from the main library to a portable device and then also transferred directly from the desktop to the portable device via a drag and drop operation to the device node in the application, the track will be duplicated on the device. ( bug 22666)
    • If a track in a playlist on a device is deleted entirely from the device outside of Songbird, and then the device is plugged back in and mounted in Songbird, a blank row will appear in the Songbird playlist where the deleted track once was. ( bug 22926)
    • If a playlist is re-transferred to a device, Songbird will delete and re-transfer all tracks inside that playlist. ( bug 23702)
    • Dragging and dropping a playlist from a never-before-seen MSC device to the main library will cause a duplicate playlist to be created if the main library already contains a playlist of the same name. ( bug 23747)
    • Songbird will sync empty playlists to devices and leave empty playlists on devices. ( bug 23758)
    • Songbird will create duplicate tracks in the device library when syncing playlists that contain tracks whose metadata has been modified since the last sync. ( bug 23937)
    • Mounting and syncing operations may be significantly slower when the device summary page is displayed during those operations. ( bug 24005)
    • Songs and playlists may be duplicated on devices when performing multiple sync operations. ( bug 24026, bug 24028, bug 24030)
