A comment on the question "Sync is too CPU intensive and becoming incredibly slower with time" in Xmarks:

True. To be honest though, I don't miss profiles. With weave, you can setup multiple computers. Its just that the data isn't shared. The thing is, I've found I can live with that as long as Weave stays out of my hair and does its job quietly and efficiently in the background. It does. – carleeto, on October 11, 2009 18:58

A comment on the question "Sync is too CPU intensive and becoming incredibly slower with time" in Xmarks:

You need Mozilla Weave. I uninstalled XMarks some time ago for the same reason you did. I have all the sync functionality minus the problems. – carleeto, on October 06, 2009 17:31

In my view, CD Ripping is a "nice to have", but CD Burning is a "must have".

Reason:
I use smart playlists a LOT. When I'm going on a trip, or putting together a compilation for someone too computer illiterate to deal with mp3s (which is really very frequently), I use smart searches to build a quick custom playlist and burn that to CD for use in the car.

I hardly ever RIP from CDs, though I must admit that when I do, its really handy to be able to do it from my application that manages my music and not to hop between 3 or 4.

I'm really happy to see this idea getting attention. Thank you! I've been promoting Songbird to a lot of my friends and there are a lot more people keeping an eye on this feature that would seem evident from the replies on this thread.

Cheers for the hard work guys!

Well, I see a lot of other people have had the same problems. I had cleaned out my entire Firefox profile thrice before I realized that every time the browser slowed down, Xmarks was synching in the background.

First, here are some versions:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060308 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.11
XMarks 3.1.0 installed.

Same problem on Windows XP, Mac & Linux and on the latest Firefox 3.5 beta on all 3 OSes.

It does not freeze, but the UI does become unresponsive for small amounts of time - long enough for you to notice.

Next, I do not have password sync enabled. Encyption is set to "Encrypt all".
Setting encryption to "Login" doesn't improve matters.

Is there anything I can do to help? Run tests? code? XMarks has helped me a lot and I would like to try and help before I bite the bullet and switch to something like Weave if I have to.

carleeto replied on June 21, 2009 21:29 to the question "SHOUTcast server with Songbird 1.0 (Windows)" in Songbird:

Same query here. Its June 2009. I'd like this ability not just on windows though, but on all platforms. The main reason I'd like this is that this would allow one to play music on an Airport Express. You could have Songbird as the main server serving the audio and iTunes running on a device that can stream to the Airport Express. Forget DNAS - Apple continues to break that protocol. Fortunately, they cannot ignore shoutcast. Use that.

Here's another site that you can use ISBN on : http://isbn.nu/
I created a search using the create-new-search command, but the results are not displayed in real time.
Now, if only Ubiquity could interpret and display the results...

I just had to search for a book myself and was so sure Ubiquity would already have it that I pulled it up, but no suck luck :) ISBN numbers are one of those things that mean little to us humans but serve as a beautiful way to identify a particular book. Selecting the ISBN number and telling Ubiquity to "find near me" for example would absolutely rock. or even a greasemonkey script that detected ISBN numbers and converted it into a microformat which Ubiquity could then use....
