Sorry to hijack the thread but Dustin I've downloaded nightly builds from time to time but I never notice anything new - is there a release log that goes along with it that says what's new?

It was off for me.. even when I turned it on (to use preview) it didn't move anything around because I hadn't told it to yet..
also just for your own sake you can tell someone to go to hell and they'll be packing for the trip as long as you say it nicely - no need to be vulgar.

and why wouldn't your id3 tags be accurate? i mean, you obviously care what your folder structure is like and that's under the hood whilst your tags are the actual information..

Track Numbers Only Show in Songbird

I put in the track numbers for my songs like 1 / 15 when I put in the second part (through songbird) and exported it to iTunes my track numbers are now gone from my music. This is very upsetting as I don't know how to restore it back to the way it was or fix it.

iTunes Determined Song Volume Apply to Songbird?

In iTunes I have it set to determine song volume. Is this stored in metadata? I'm curious if it is applied in Songbird after it's determined in iTunes. I know you can't do it natively yet this would be a good work around however since now there's the 2way sync :)

Why not just from metadata??

dtay replied on June 23, 2009 09:32 to the idea "Media Management - More Folder Structure Customization" in Songbird:

I want my naming scheme to be <artist> / <(year) album> / <# artist - track title>

if the numbers are below 10 they would start with a 0 in order to keep them all two digits & easily be organized by the track list.</artist>

klint's reply to "file type as option in displayed library info?" was just promoted to the most useful! dtay and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

You already can implement your idea in a Smart Playlist, by using a search criteria such as:
"File Location" "contains" ".mp3"

Custom Library Managing Rules?

When I organize my music, it looks like this: Arist > (Year) Album > (Track Number, 1-9 have 0s in front of them like 01, 02, 03, until 10, 11, and so on) I haven't used the new manage feature but I was curious if you could do the track numbers like that or would it go 1, 2, 3
Okay now my idea is custom folder styles. If you google the application tag&rename you'll see what I mean. They use rules like %4=track number %5 equals year or something like that. Then you type it in yourself how you'd like it to look and it will change the selected folders or files. I'd love for Songbird to manage my music since it would make it a hell of a lot easier but I do want to keep my "(1999) Album" look going since it alphabetizes it and it just looks better to me.
