Dustin Grey replied on July 10, 2009 01:55 to the question "Why would you allow SB to delete half of my music?" in Songbird:
Yes, they've been deleted entirely. I don't have a lot of nonsense clogging my computer as I use it mostly for music and artwork. I tried finding any trace of the music I lost right away and came up empty-handed. Some of my friends had a couple of my rarer albums (I listen to a lot of obscure stuff, which took me a long time to get my hands on), so I was luckily about to *ahem* borrow the music from them for now. But that still leaves me with 2200 or so songs lost.
I hate to be so virulent about all of this, but the fact of the matter is that I'm furious that a feature which should have helped organize my music destroyed 2500 files.-

Granted. My music should have been backed up. But at the same time I shouldn't have to suspect my music player will delete 2500 tracks permanently. Or am I missing something here? -

I've backed up whatever I have left after this incident.
But the issue isn't backing music up. I shouldn't have to make a back up of 5,000+ songs just to use a feature in a program that has passed through beta testing. I think it's ridiculous that this feature would have the capability to delete song files in bulk (without sending them to the recycle bin or somewhere where they can be recovered) in the first place. -

Dustin Grey asked a question in Songbird on July 01, 2009 20:06:
Why would you allow SB to delete half of my music?Installed SB1.2. Turned on Media Manager. It sorted through my music. Now I have whole CDs missing. I have artists with only one song instead of 250. I've had artists deleted entirely. All in all, I'm missing about 2,000 songs. And I have no way (that I know of) of recovering my lost music files. So my question is, what the f*ck? And who will be the one to foot the bill? -
Dustin Grey reported a problem in Songbird on March 31, 2009 17:00:
Duplicates after Metadata EditI've noticed that sometimes there's an error which occurs after editing the metadata of multiple songs at once. Here's how the process goes:
Open up the metadata of all of the songs for a particular album.
Changes are made.
"Ok" is pressed or "Enter/Return" is hit.
Now if enter/return is hit, there doesn't seem to be a problem. But if 'Ok' is pressed, occasionally it generates duplicate entries of the songs that were selected. This problem can be remedied by removing the songs from the library and importing them back. Using Aero Bird Pro feathers, along with various addons (active: lyrics, mashtape, song notifier, album art fetcher).
EDIT
I was able to get the problem to show it's ugly head by editing the "Comment" section of the metadata. This particular instance occured when I pressed "enter/return", so that seems to be a problem as well.
