Songbird mediaplayer

Love soundcloud from the first moment... Did you ever think about making use of the songbird api??? Great music player and communication over JS should be quite an easy task...

Clamm replied on June 27, 2009 09:26 to the question "Why is Isan release so unstable??" in Songbird:

Isan works pretty well for the majority of the people but unfortunately there can always be conflicts with hardware or software which difffers from one to another computer. In this case i am quite sure you are using songbird on Windows or Linux. Could you provide some system information? Did you try setting up a new profile?

Clamm replied on June 25, 2009 22:00 to the problem "Managed mode sucks and should be off by default" in Songbird:

Yes, please avoid offending anyone if there is absolutely no reason... At least same happened to me. I never used managed mode in iTunes and accidently activated it while using my personal (not testing purpose) profile. I KNEW WHAT WOULD AND FINALLY HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE. Now i have the same work in front of me - Rearranging everything as i want it to be. But there are a lot of people which used to organize their libraryin managed mode and they are all happy. So both of us belong to the people who activated a feature by accident. No fun. But our fault ;-)

Clamm replied on June 24, 2009 16:29 to the question "Different questions about rating" in Songbird:

No, you need to set this one to true:
songbird.metadata.ratings.enableWriting

Clamm replied on June 24, 2009 11:55 to the question "Different questions about rating" in Songbird:

Do you mean "metadata-writing" or "Write Ratings to the metadata"?

Clamm replied on June 24, 2009 07:56 to the question "Different questions about rating" in Songbird:

Not by default! You can find information about how to activate it here:

(Just works for mp3's... rating data of other filtypes wont be saved!)

Clamm replied on June 24, 2009 07:52 to the question "Editing metadata in Songbird" in Songbird:

"In my quest to edit and complete my entire Library's metadata, is there and easier way of doing it than editing the metadata to ensure Album Artist = Artist?"

--> You could try muscibrainz picard to fetch metadata... You never know if the metadata is correctly saved on any server. But at least with musicbrainz picard you have a fairly controllable way of doing this.

"getting written back to the file"
--> Yes, metadata is written to the file and will be be available if you transfer it to any other PC

Must say that the latest OS X 10.4 Versions on his blog dont run stable or even worse. Sorry!

Clamm replied on June 22, 2009 12:22 to the problem "Can't install Songbird 1.2 for Mac." in Songbird:

Yeah, you should trash them... Obviously you have some problems with the download. A "part" file is only visible as long as the download isn't completely finished. Just try it again!

Clamm replied on May 29, 2009 19:23 to the problem "Seeking problems" in Songbird:

Would be interesting to knwo some more about your system... COuld you please offer some specifications?! Thanky You!

Clamm marked one of Michael Purses' replies in Songbird as useful. Michael Purses replied to the question "why cant i view artwork in windows media player??".

Clamm replied on May 25, 2009 08:36 to the question "why cant i view artwork in windows media player??" in Songbird:

Thx... Oldarney ;-) But album art should be written to the file by default:

songbird.metadata.artwork.enableWriting (is true by default)

Clamm replied on May 25, 2009 07:48 to the question "why cant i view artwork in windows media player??" in Songbird:

Hmm, i am not that int windows mediaplayer but Songbird uses the id3v2 standard to embed artwork... After a quick search in the nternet i suppose that wmp uses its own solution. Sorry about that, but we cant do anything against a company (in this case microsoft) which decides to make their own proprietery solution

Clamm replied on May 24, 2009 08:24 to the problem "Watched folder does not work on External USB Drive." in Songbird:

A comment on the problem "Songbird skips quickly through all my tracks without playing any" in Songbird:

GREG: I know you already tried regsvr32 BUT the answer shown in the console is very important!!! – Clamm, on May 20, 2009 07:19

Clamm replied on May 19, 2009 22:30 to the problem "Songbird skips quickly through all my tracks without playing any" in Songbird:

Ok guys... we dont think that we are all talking here all about the same problem... So all which reported here after greg please check if there isnt yet another thread on getSatisfaction or bugreport on bugzilla already... If not please open a new thread if things differ from what greg said...

YOU REALLY SCARED ME ;-)

GREG: Back to you... Could you please answer the following questions:

- Did you import he files via the iTunes importer?
- If "YES" could you try dragging and dropping a file onto songbird and see if it works
- Could you try a nightly build http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Develope...
- VERY IMPORTANT: Could you try the regsvr32 command (found on the proposed bugzilla thread) and report if it succeeded or failed... This is extremly important
- there are some people in the bugzilla-thread reporting that installing the frauenhofer codec pack helped... Could you please also try that...

Sorry GREG.... we think that there could be 2 things causing that issues. First one is a corrupted Songbird installation under windows which causes the mp3-codec to be missing... The second one could be the iTunes importer

Thank you for your patience...
