A comment on the idea "Last.fm-like multiple tag system" in Songbird:

this is the best I've seen so far.

When you select multiple items, the bar should only show the tags that all selected songs have in common – Remorak, on July 07, 2009 15:23

Remorak replied on July 07, 2009 15:13 to the idea "Media Management - More Folder Structure Customization" in Songbird:

I don't use the autosort function because Musicbrainz Picard does this much better.
For example it automaticly sorts songs from the Beetles under

Beatles, The

and Johnny Cash under

Cash, Johnny

will Songbird ever be able to do so?

beside my philosophy to have as less unused functions as possible I sometimes click very fast and imprudent through Songbird and I don't want to overwrite my cover art.

But, I got your Point.

is there a way to deactivate this function via about:config?

I simply like to deactivate those things, and that is very easy when everything is an add-on

make "get album art" an add-on

sorry, I don't need this function because I use musicBrainz Picard and I believe I'm not the only one. Or am I?

or integrate it into this

Remorak replied on April 29, 2009 20:23 to the idea "invent an XML for Lyrics" in Songbird:

fortunately this format doesn't Indicate, which lines of the Song belongs to the chorus, the intro or the verse.

it contains no meta information and it's not extensible.

invent an XML for Lyrics

it would be nice if there where an uniform lyric syntax that can be used for various add-ons. For karaoke, lyrics or visualisers for example.

something like this


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<lyric title="Wonderwall">
<intro>
<verse>
<v>Today is gonna be the day</v>
<v>That they're gonna throw it back to you</v>
<v>By now you should've somehow</v>
<v>Realized what you gotta do</v>
<v>I don't believe that anybody</v>
<v>Feels the way I do about you now</v>
</verse>
</intro>
<verse>
<v>The way I do about you now</v>
</verse>
<verse>
<v>And all the roads we have to walk along are winding</v>
<v>And all the lights that lead us there are blinding</v>
<v>There are many things that I would</v>
<v>Like to say to you</v>
<v>I don't know how</v>
</verse>
<chorus>
<v>Because maybe</v>
<v>You're gonna be the one who saves me?</v>
<v>And after all</v>
<v>You're my wonderwall</v>
</chorus>
<verse>
<v>Today was gonna be the day?</v>
<v>But they'll never throw it back to you</v>
<v>By now you should've somehow</v>

<v>I don't believe that anybody</v>
<v>Feels the way I do</v>
<v>About you now</v>
</verse>

<v>And all the roads that lead to you were winding</v>

sorry that's just a crazy idea that I wanted to share.

Remorak shared an idea in Songbird on April 23, 2009 08:05:

Sort artist names by the sort name tag

MusicBrainz automaticly adds a "albumartistsort"-tag beside the "artistname"-tag to files.

For example:

when the artist is named "Elvis Presley", the sort name is "Presley, Elvis" or when the artist name is "The Whitest Boy Alive", the sort name is "Whitest Boy Alive, The".

And this also works with non-english names like "Die Ärzte"(sort name "Ärzte, Die").

MusicBrains is providing this information for every single artist in there Database. Why don't use it instead of simply ignoring "The" and "A" in artist names?

it would also be possible to sort artist by the last name.
