Hi ubermoo

If you select "file" > "Import Media" your music will be imported into your library and won't be copied or moved to your internal HD.
Means: Your files are not affected, Songbird only writes their location into his database, so you can listen to them.

Tim, I'm sure it's still Thursday somewhere, but you're right, August is over. I did blog about what happened, but I should have linked it back here. Sorry about that.

I really like the idea of an musicbrainz addon or integration.

The MB team wrote a detailed description of it's xml web service.

There are also some libraries for different programming languages available.

Maybe it could be configurable to disable some of it's possible features like adding the local files on hdd to it's collection in MB db.

It could work a similar way like last.fm plugin is working. There you get new elements in gui for tagging the file on last.fm or setting it to it's loved songs or banning it.
Adding folksonomy tags to a file could be done like in last.fm, maybe also using those as suggestions for mb tags.
After setting the tags those could be sent to the web and optionally saved to the file.

The rating which is included currently in songbird could also be extended/replaced. When you rate a file, the rating also could be sent to musicbrainz and additional saved to the file itself.

Last but not least also "collections" could be integrated into songbird.

It would be great if someone would pick up this request and I think many users would love it, even if they don't think yet that it could be useful.

best regards
