AklineZer0 replied on October 13, 2008 14:43 to the question "Album Art Problem" in Songbird:

For some reason songbird is putting the wrong album art on the wrong album. i.e. (My No Doubt Album as a Bob Marley Album Cover instead of the No Doubt Album Cover.) This is only a problem when my iPod is ejected from my computer/songbird. When I connect my iPod to my Computer/Songbird; the right album covers are on the correct album. What am I doing wrong? I have the latest version of Songbird and Add-on's, also I have a 160G Video iPod, and was using Media Monkey in the past.

I would suggest, try to create a new profile by going to All Programs-Songbird-Songbird(Profile Manager).
See if flash player works with a clean profiel.
Don't install flash updates, when prompted.

This would be a great idea. Hopefully it will happen!

i think this would be a good idea also. although songbird has crashed everytime i have tried to play a mp3, i release it's still in development. i'm hanging out for cd ripping, album artwork downloading, id3 info downloading, vitalisations etc.. would also be nice if you could go download the lyrics. speaking of which, the current search for lyrics system (on my computer) was searching only the title of the song, not exactly specific enough to find what i was after!

Thanks for the love and the great idea.

FYI, as part of the Mozilla community we're in close communication w/ the Mozilla team. We've reached out to the Mozilla team to adopt/co-promote/distribute/etc. Songbird. We'll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, you can help directly by promoting Songbird -- by blogging, twittering, digging, Facebook sharing, and by clicking "I Like This Idea" on this page. =)

A little bit of community action goes a long way.

Best,
Rob

it still doesn't work. by the way, there's no tool > restart in v7 i had to manually close and restart songbird.

Boris replied on October 02, 2008 20:27 to the problem "How do I install Flash in my Songbird?" in Songbird:

For some reason it doesn't prompt to restart at the end.
try to install .xpi file
"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi
and manually restart the application using Tools -> Restart.

hi today adobe installer prompted me to install the update and after that, i can't seem to watch any flash player on songbird even after i uninstalled and reinstalled adobe player and songbird. if adobe player is installed, it can be run on internet explorer but not songbird. i tried using the method as stated above, it shows the installation process but disappeared once the installation is completed, i think it's not compatible with songbird v7? i'm using window xp, songbird v7

Matt replied on September 26, 2008 08:01 to the idea "EQ and applet" in Songbird:

Here's the thing; In my view; GOOD SOUND MUST COME FIRST, or none of the other cool features will matter. In addition to this thread there are threads & bug reports about volume limiting/Normalization & some complaints about the sound. -- see:
http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/t...
etc.

Now we know the Dev's have heard these requests, & they're on the list, & that we're waiting on GStreamer, but improving the sound & sound tools still doesn't appear to be highest on the list according to the Roadmap.

I would've thought that making the player work well & sound good -as a music player- would come first (and even be easier?) rather than implementing some of the fancier web-related features.
For one thing; I think most of us already have ways to find content, both files and streams. I buy most of my music from Amazon, & listen to SomaFM a lot. & we already have a great web-browser; Firefox.

- so once it sounds really good, we could adopt the player as our main music-player early, & show it off to more people, & wait as cool web-search features, & cover art, & even video playback, etc. are developed.

just my 2cents. Still exited...
