well, this method could also be used to sync an itouch/iphone by mounting to the root directory, so why not create a directory browser for itouch/iphone? -

actually, it not an app, its something used to browse the directory of an iphone/itouch.i was hoping for an add-on capable of browsing the root directory of an itouch so we can mod it and set permissions -

i like it, and maybe it could also include wma's, and other formats. i think this function should be added to the web playlist -

thnx, hopefully they'll make an open ssh add-on that has the same properties box when we right click on a folder or box as winscp and can automatically open the root directory of and itouch/iphone. This will really be an advancement ipod touch/iphone modding where no wi-fi is required to mount the device. -

Open SSH for iPod Touch/iPhoneWell, it's something that would be quite helpful, i'd really like to see an open SSH for iTouch that requires no wi-fi connection to detect the device (like iphone browser) but has the same functions as WinSCP (which requires wi-fi). Please look into this. It's something that would be nice. please consider it -

I'm not really dissapointed, just encouraging people, i know its hard to make a "Perfect media player" and that it could take a while. what i'm doing is not critisizing, but rather just giving open suggestions, pointing out obvious bugs, and giving a full true-hearted feedback. i mean i remember when i found songbird when it was on version 0.1 and IMO its come a REALLY long way. its not long before version 1 blows winamp, and itunes right in the face, and im sure it wil -

Songbird needs improvement...Ok, so i've recently switched over from Winamp to Songbird and so far i'm liking it but the problem is its just not "media player" material.
For one thing it uses to much memory and it takes a long time to load and even after loading i cant be able to smoothly scroll through my songs. I mean i have a 2 GB ram with AMD Athlon Processor and i currently hold 36,000 songs on songbird. i mean whenever i try to scroll down to find a song, it just freezes for a minute or two and then moves. whenever i use winamp (or even itunes) i dont encounter this problem. sometimes i encountered problems when i import an itunes library a wrong song or even video ends up in the wrong playlist or the metadata isnt imported at all.
Also, whats up with the classes, they dont seem to automatically adjust to the longest entry like if the longest time is 20:07, it would adjust to display that.
As for core audio features, its missing the an EQ (boys and girls, dont use headphones with songbird), CD Ripping/Burning/READING, FLAC support (dreadfully terrible), and the option for "Gapless Playback and Fade Out". and if your gonna have ipod support, we should be able to convert WMA (and other popular or not-so-popular formats) to MP3 or AAC. im also very eager for ipod touch and iphone support, so keep up the good work.
Also, ive noticed that songbird is really buggy, another thing you should work on, i mean whenever i install an add-on or a theme, theres always something wrong. ive had problems with the following addons:
MinimizeTotray
WMP11 Feathers
iTunes feathers
Mashtape
Flickr
Last.fm Audio scrobbling
and many more....
not only that but occasionally songbird crashes for no reason, and i know its not my system, i defragment it every month (painfully long process, like 3 hours). ai always have to then remove it from the processes menu in the task manager, because its still running
as for device support, the biggest problem is with the ipod, i mean i've encountered problems such as my sync being complete but no songs on my ipod or my ipod doesn't mount at all or my metadata isnt written to my ipod. i really want to ditch itunes, but how can i when it and winamp (10th version was really a dissapointment IMO) when it still surpasses songbird by a VERY long shot. Another problem is SYNCING PICTURES TO IPOD, must have feature and SMART PLAYLISTS.
The NOW PLAYING LIST MUST BE ROLLED INTO THE CORE. now i would suggest the now playing list to be an entirely different section where songbird would have 2 tabs, "now playing" and "library" like realplayer, where under this tab there would also be VISUALIZATIONS (a very important aspect) the now playing list should also be saved without having to create a new playlist and whenever we open a file from our default music directory it shouldn't be added to the library, i mean its very annoying. i have to end up deleting a bunch of broken video shortcuts when im done watching them. and of course "Add to songbirds now playing list" is a must have feature upon right click on a file.
The Album art manager should also be rolled into the core, although i personally prefers itunes cover fetcher, much more efficient. maybe the itunes library importer should also fetch the covers or itunes could be added along with amazon and last.fm as a cover fetcher
Party shuffle is something i dont quite consider as a real party shuffle. i mean it should start at a random song, it always starts with the first song. again also roll this in.
Now for video features, i know youre probably not focusing on this, but please do something to fix the cheezy window, maybe the video should play in the place of the visualizations under the now playing tab that i suggested? and of course Esc = Full Screen
As for internet surfing, not that bad, but please also focus on making the web playlist better.
i mean it should bypass the following scenarios:
Video run on a plug-in such as WMP, DivX and Quicktime.
SWF used to block FLV
FLV used to block MP3/WMA
also focus on making a "status/progress bar". might also be good for add-ons
a suggestion would be a yahoo messenger add-on, just a request
other than all that, just remember to focus on core audio features anf fixing bugs
also, does songbird have flv support?
