A comment on the idea "Equalizer to Songbird" in Songbird:

Anything* is possible.

This is on the roadmap for the version after next, I think. Hopefully we'll have an add-on before then, since I'm told it wouldn't be very difficult for someone with the right skills.

Feel free to keep discussing this here -- Michael, your suggestion of using Jack as a stopgap is a good one for sufficiently technical users. Alex, I think you have misunderstood the tone of the conversation, and nicolaluna, I hope you'll stay and continue contributing to the discussion. Now let's all be nice, yes? We all want the same thing: EQ in Songbird.

Fantastic. Feel free to send emails to the sb-dev mailing list with your questions or to hop into our IRC channel. We'll be glad to help you get set in the right direction.

No, but we have ShoutCast streams for your radio-streaming needs. There's always the possibility in the future, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

pvh replied on December 10, 2008 20:02 to the question "can I import my ratings from amarok?" in Songbird:

No, at this point Songbird doesn't do library migration from Amarok. It would be a simple matter for a motivated community member to create, however, so maybe you can convince someone or hack it in yourself?

pvh replied on December 09, 2008 18:49 to the question "Are there plans to make a Songbird discussion forum?" in Songbird:

A forum would be great.

pvh replied on December 09, 2008 08:30 to the idea "Really smart playlists via Mirage/Songbird" in Songbird:

Yeeeah, that's a mistake. I'll fix it if I can figure out how.

pvh replied on December 09, 2008 08:29 to the praise "The new Songbird 1.0 icon!" in Songbird:

For the record, and because people are so frequently confused. We're not Mozilla. We're based on Mozilla technology, but we're our own thang. We love those guys, but we don't want to bite their style too bad, y'know?

Thanks Niophe, I missed this thread when I checked GS on Friday. I'll take a look and get back to you.

pvh replied on December 08, 2008 19:37 to the question "How to activate cover arts display ?" in Songbird:

Could you please try without any add-ons? It sounds like one of the add-ons you've installed is conflicting somehow. If we can track down which one it is, we might be able to get it updated by the author.

pvh replied on December 08, 2008 19:34 to the question "Love the program, but I'd like a New Feature" in Songbird:

Great, glad you found it. I'll keep that in mind if I see anyone else with the same problem.

Done, enjoy.

pvh replied on December 05, 2008 22:01 to the question "What are the advantages of Songbird for me?" in Songbird:

Well, it sounds like you're already using four different applications. Songbird's add-ons provide a lot of functionality from the other applications you already use, and a lot more besides. Just check it out and decide for yourself. :)

pvh replied on December 05, 2008 21:57 to the question "How to activate cover arts display ?" in Songbird:

Yes, it should work automatically in Songbird 1.0. If this is still a problem, please reply with more details.

pvh replied on December 05, 2008 21:57 to the question "installing older feathers on songbird1.0?" in Songbird:

No. Well, yes, but it will probably break things. Your best approach is to ask the add-on developer to update their feather to the new version. If that doesn't work, you can download an unmaintained feather, figure out it works and make it happen.

pvh replied on December 05, 2008 21:55 to the question "Embedding Album Art" in Songbird:

Album art is really tricky and complicated because of all the different ways there are to store and retrieve the metadata. Assuming you're using MP3s, and that your MP3 player reads the tracks out of the MP3 you should be good to go with 1.0. If not, my understanding is that dbradley and erikstaats are working on device stuff at the moment and we may have improvements out there soon.

pvh replied on December 05, 2008 21:53 to the question "how does songbird store playlists?" in Songbird:

Yeah, we store playlists as tables in a database for performance reasons. Unfortunately you're stuck with importing and exporting for the forseeable future. Sorry. You might find the playlist exporter comes in handy.
