@Michael;


HAIIIIYOOOOO!

Hi there Esther,

Since I'm the author of the Sparkle feather I'd like to know what version of songbird you're using. At the moment Sparkle supports up to version 1.4

If you're using a compatible version I'd like to know what other add-ons you got installed, there might be some kind of conflict somewhere.

Please reply and I'll help you out.

I hereby declare Lights absolutely fantastic. In particular her song Pretend (Reprise).

hmm, i still can't get it to work :( – Lenny, on October 19, 2009 19:36

I don't know acctually, one thin I do know though is that when I began creating a Rubberducky-style gonzo feather I came to the conclusion that it didn't look as good as back in the days, so I decided to let it rest in peace. Although I wouldn't mind if someone went through with it and uploaded to the site. I won't do though since I don't think I'm capable of giving it justice. – Lenny, on October 05, 2009 16:48

Just found some totally awesome new music!

Don't know how well the Play/pause/stop add-on works with latest builds, but if you really need that button try and install it by disabling the compability check ( Type in about:config in the URL bar, right-Click anywhere and select New > Boolean. Name it extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false. )

Personal favourite; Jonathan Koshi. – Lenny, on September 24, 2009 21:48

Songbird is a fantastic product with an awesome community behind it.
I've invested a lot of time and interest in the project and always got positive response from both devTeam and people who use my feathers.
As a student I've got a laptop on loan from my school and use it every day. Obviously we're not allowed to have administrator rights or install software ourselves ( which kinda suck, but I respect non the less). Before v1.0 I was able to install Songbird without any super-admin powers and it was great, but right around the bend the devTeam introduced: "You need admin rights to install this program", and I thought: "well I'll still be able to install songbird on an other computer and copy/paste the program folder". And so I did and indeed it worked like a charm.
Tonight, I've downloaded the 1.5.0a-1264 build. Sure it works to do like before - installing and copy/paste but now I get a bonus error message of some kind.
(Songbird still works as expected but it definitely could be a lot smoother...)

Yes I know there is a portable version, but I, just as you want to play with the latest toys.

I guess my point is; why the heck did you implement user rights limitations? As I see things it's not your job to decide who can install Songbird but rather the Grumpy old tech support guy at my school. Am I correct, no?

It'll probably be impossible to install most applications like songbird on a computer with restricted user rights in the future anyway, but I consider this a matter of principle since songbird is open source.

Please make this sensible.

I actually did a wace graph myself yesterday, It's real perdy! – Lenny, on September 20, 2009 17:20

Firstly, thanks Michael for sharing this thread! Secondly I totally agree with Tim when he says the SBcommunity contributed to a greater variety in the music collection :-)

I think it's quite amusing to see how my own musical taste changes over time, nowadays tending to go towards something with resemblance of Indie. Not sure though.
Anyways, I want to share Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and especially their song Oregon Girl.

Btw, don't you have a Last.fm account Laura? I don't think I've seen you around.
Oh, and Michael does you Spotify account still work?
