A sort-of workaround for me is to use a smart playlist with "Genre is Podcast" then use the filter view pane. It's at least more rational than having them all float around in the library and looking for them there.

I haven't even tried to download podcasts with Songbird - it seems to have little control and I really don't want all files, typically.

charlener started following the idea "Podcasting service or add-on" in Songbird.

ACM update - I think I'll be trying this - http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/...

Release note says "Fixes a major memory leak when playing any MP3 file"(!) Which is certainly possibly what I had...

I disabled ACM MP3 decoder...and who knows? Maybe it's helping - it's so erratic it's hard to tell. On the other hand, I now have media core component playback errors...but at least they'll just advance to the next song. Will keep posted...

Maybe we can compare notes - if we're both using a plugin, we can narrow it down to those ones. Right now I'm using:

ACM MP3 Decoder 0.1
Dom Inspector 2.0.0
Last.Fm 0.3.3.882
MediaFlow 2.9 (This was just updated a few min ago though)
QuickTime Playback 1.0.0.860
Windows Media Playback 1.0.0.860

Though some of these are probably needed to actually run Songbird but perhaps it's a start.

Hey, here's a related problem - may be the same one...

I think it may be Last.fm music recommendations, though I can't say for sure as it's so intermittent. Disabling it thus far seems to be keeping everything stable...

A comment on the problem "SB 1.0 really slows down XP sometimes" in Songbird:

Using safe mode seems to have made it stop happening - been playing all day now with no problems. I'll try to isolate which plugin next I suppose...I'm using fairly standard ones (I believe)... – charlener, on December 23, 2008 08:11

I don't mind checking my plugins but reformatting my computer to get a single application to work is too much for me. I reformatted about six months back, anyway.

Hi jlow,

I have the same problem - have you found out if any plugins have caused this? I get this problem too and thus I'm waiting to see if any updates come out before using songbird again as it's super annoying. I was wondering if it may have had to do with AAC protected vs. unprotected files.

Any sort of crash report built into songbird for this?

I'm having this problem with Windows XP - after a bit (would be happy to document with instructions) CPU usage shoots to 100% and the only way I can get my computer to respond in a completely not sluggish manner is to slowly get to task manager and kill the songbird process. Until I can figure this out, I'm not really able to use songbird. This is using 1.0.0.

I started getting weird errors too. What I finally ended up doing was creating a new profile and then magically all the add-ons and everything began to behave again.

Before this, I did try deleting the suggested files with no success.

Hi, I also have this problem, but I never installed feathers and it doesn't seem to affect playback (yet).

WinXP SP3, Songbird 0.7 that was automatically upgraded from 0.6.
