A comment on the question "How to add songs to the media library?" in Songbird:

import media doesn't work for single files! (they're grayed)

is it true that the songs you play with "open file" are added to the library?
is there a chance to move/copy importing files to a selected/generated folder? – kyle, on February 16, 2009 01:14

A comment on the question "Manual Sync does not seem to work ... can sync'ing be optional in songbird?" in Songbird:

is there an option to sync only songs that are "ticked off" like in itunes?
"all-or-nothing" (whole lib - or playlists only) - add-ons? – kyle, on February 16, 2009 01:10

A comment on the question "Help Me Please =] Syncing your IPod" in Songbird:

this seems like the right thread

you listed the 3 options of syncing your ipod
this means I'm not blind

I was looking (for the non existing?) option 4:
in iTunes you could "tick off" songs that you wanted and thus "leave those behind" you didn't.
Is there anything like this in songbird?
or only the "all-or-nothing" method?
only "all music" or "playlist" - 2 rather extreme options I think.
I used to mark the songs I didn't want on my ipod anymore with one star - whenever I connected my ipod i sorted the library by rating and checked if any "one star song" was ticked off - If so i changed it - and synced.
plus - my ipod hasn't got enough space for the whole libray - and playlists only is rather boring.... kills the shuffle option.

if this "ticking off" is not yet available - is there an add-on?
It is the easiest and fastest way to organize the songs on your ipod/computer. – kyle, on February 16, 2009 01:05

A comment on the question "Is it possible to export the WHOLE library?" in Songbird:

A comment on the question "Howto import mp3 files? grayed out .." in Songbird:

hey

A comment on the question "Am I blind? I can't see where iTunes Importer feature is." in Songbird:

hey

thanks about "/localhost/"...
well I changed - and checked the caps again - everything ok

then I imported ..... "error - 47 of 305 files don't exist
i tried again.... "error - check the library file"

i checked xml.file again...... OK! and DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!
import - once again 65 of 2103 files don't exist.
--- NONE OF THE SONGS WORKED!
import once again - 65 of 2103 don't exist
BUT now most songs work! (I hope it's really just 65)

I think I'll leavc it this way - whenever I come across a file that doesn't work I'll check the path... or import it new...
better 65 then 2103.

or any way to find out which files cannot be played/ have a wrong path - besides try & error play? – kyle, on February 14, 2009 21:09

A comment on the question "Am I blind? I can't see where iTunes Importer feature is." in Songbird:

hey

nope - the music is on my ubuntu partition.
I used to work with WIN2000 - then a friend of mine suggested that I should work with linux.
we put all my files (including the music files) on a mobile harddisk.
WIN2000 --> bye bye
Ubuntu and XP (2partitions) --> hello
so xp is also installed on this computer - but i never used it. – kyle, on February 14, 2009 10:32

A comment on the question "Am I blind? I can't see where iTunes Importer feature is." in Songbird:

so this was the path before I startetd using ubuntu.

.... "file://localhost/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/cspmed/Eigene%20Dateien/Eigene%20Musik/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/"

now the new path (as shown in the file's "properties") is:

/home/johannes/Musik/iPod music/iTunes Music

so i turned:
file://localhost/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/cspmed/Eigene%20Dateien/Eigene%20Musik/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/

into

file://home/johannes/Musik/iPod%20music/iTunes%20Music/

when I import the new - the songs, ratings ect. are listed but I cannot play a single one! – kyle, on February 13, 2009 20:24

A comment on the question "Am I blind? I can't see where iTunes Importer feature is." in Songbird:

hey

step 1 - worked.
"import" is now found in "preferences"

as for step2:
i changed the path according to the new one in ubuntu.

I imported the library - an once that's finished songbird says
"2103 of 2103 files don't exist. Please make sur, that the correct library has been chosen for import."

I checked the path about 500 times now - it's correct!
But as this error affects all files - I can't think of anything else but a wrong path. What else could it be?
I'm freaking out.... :-[] – kyle, on February 13, 2009 16:22

A comment on the question "How do I get my itunes playlists into songbird 1.0?" in Songbird:

Well, I have 1.0.0. - but there is nothing like an "iTunes importer" in "preferences".
I thought maybe it's just not there and I need to download it via "add-ons" and "get extensions".
yes - I found it. But I cannot click the link that says - "install".

so it looks like - songbird 1.0.0. "thinks": the import add on should be integrated no need to download it.

what am I supposed to do?
I am using ubuntu 8.10 – kyle, on February 13, 2009 00:27
