juhache started following the problem "Playback of titles with special characters (accent, umlaut, ... ) not working on Songbird 0.7.0 Linux" in Songbird.

juhache replied on December 07, 2008 23:11 to the question "Volume control on websites" in Songbird:

If you are running Vista you can use the "mixer" option in the volume control.

But this would be a cool idea to implement into songbird.

If you plug in your ipod and open itunes so it detects the ipod but won't sync it, does it not scrobble your tracks then?

highlight all the files and drag into songbird

juhache replied on December 07, 2008 18:18 to the question "A way to save a song from SHOUTcast?" in Songbird:

That may be true, but i'm reasonably sure i saw something on Shoutcast that said that they forbid anyone to record tracks off of their.

But i agree, legal issues aside, it would be a nice feature to have.

I'm running SB fine on Vista right now.
Like i said, am i right in thinking this is the first time you have tried using SB to play your music on windows?

Which if it is the case leads me to assume the Linux version configures the music files artist, album, composer data in a different way to the windows version.

I assume this is the kind of thing you are looking for?

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 23:38 to the question "Nothing in Artist & album & Composer" in Songbird:

Well i assume the original platform that you imported (And when you first imported your library from whichever media player you used before SB) your SB library from was Linux, so i guess SB (or the program you used before SB) must have configured the files in a way to read the artist, album etc is not the same in which the windows version of SB does.

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 23:29 to the question "Nothing in Artist & album & Composer" in Songbird:

I guess it just must be a compatibility issue between the Linux and Windows versions of SB. That'd be my guess.

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 23:24 to the problem "Music not playing" in Songbird:

Just had a fiddle around with a few DRM tracks i had on my pc, when i try to play them SB popped up a dialog box saying that they were DRM'd.

So that may have discounted my idea.

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 23:19 to the problem "Music not playing" in Songbird:

If they were bought in the iTunes store maybe it's because they are subject to DRM (which i'm reasonably sure SB can't play)

Try playing them in Windows Media Player, just to see if it's a SB error or because they have DRM.

(DRM being protected songs, meaning you can only play them if you are logged into your iTunes account, just if it was unclear!)

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 23:01 to the question "Nothing in Artist & album & Composer" in Songbird:

The track window looks strange because there are no Artists, Composers or Albums attributed to each individual song

I assume it is because the Linux version of SB uses a different way to store the file data, would need a employee to verify that though, i don't know much about Linux so..

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 22:59 to the question "A way to save a song from SHOUTcast?" in Songbird:

The legality of that is questionable :P

But just stick it in google and see what comes up

something like ("songname" "band" download) and it usually finds something

juhache replied on December 06, 2008 22:54 to the problem "Music not playing" in Songbird:

My guess would be the song files are corrupt.

Do they play in a different program?

juhache started following the idea "Undo close tab" in Songbird.

juhache marked one of Laura Thomas' replies in Songbird as useful. Laura Thomas replied to the question "No URL in nav bar!".

juhache asked a question in Songbird on December 06, 2008 21:48:

Forward/Backward Mouse buttons don't work!

On the side of my mouse there are a forward and backwards button, which work with most programs in some way, but i can't figure out how to make them work on songbird!

Is there anyway to set it up or is there a feature i need to enable or anything?

I have tried using the hotkeys tab in tools>options, but to no avail!

If it makes any difference i am running Vista and using a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse.

(also, offtopic question, does anyone know of a way/add-on which would allow me to add a permanent internet tab (of my homepage))

juhache asked a question in Songbird on December 05, 2008 22:53:

No URL in nav bar!

This might be a really simple question, but i am a first time user and i really like this program, but i have one little issue!

When i use Songbird to surf the web, the current URL does not show in the nav bar!
I'm not sure if this is an error, or it's something you can change or it's just not part of the program, but any help would be great :)

Running build 860 (20081124135419)

Edit:

Just found another thread where someone has asked a similar question, but their solution was to restart and i have tried that!

I will try updating to the very newest build (if it's not already)

Also i am running Vista, if that makes any difference.

Edit2:

Newest build + restart later, problem solved!
