It gives me an XML "error" file. What's this supposed to mean to me and this issue?

The person's profile displays at 73x73 anyway...

Well, back when Songbird had Video support (as unusable as it was), and with my songs on shuffle, the videos would randomly play instead of the music. A checkbox would have been a good temporary solution at that time.

Now, I'd have to remove any songs I don't want to hear normally, rather than "unchecking" them. And if I want to search and play these songs I don't normally listen to, I'd have to add them again.

I have not been able to try the Now Playing List extension because it only works with 1.0rc2 and has not since been updated. (Apparently crashes with 1.0rc3, so it probably crashes with 1.0 final as well.)

When I rename bookmarks, it does not sync those changes.

When I rename bookmarks, sync with server, then sync with other computers, the bookmarks on these computers do not rename.

Twitter uses different image sizes throughout the site. Your twitter profile uses a 73x73 size image. The "home" page uses 31x31 pixel sizes, and so on...

See this report I just filed:

Icon/avatar sizes need to be consistent and scalable.

Icon/avatar sizes need to be consistent and scalable. 73x73px, 31x31px, 48x48... The "Home" page displays a 31x31 pixel avatar, and profile pages use a 73x73 pixel avatar size. The icons listed on people's profiles under "Following" are 24x24, and the icons next to people's updates are 48x48 pixel.

There is no need for so many variants. 31px could be 24px or 48px instead. 73? Why not make that 64 or 96px? Images might not be as blurry and it makes it easier to construct images that will consort to resizing.

slythfox started following the question "sync videos to ipod" in Songbird.

Custom playlist columns do not save

Custom playlist columns (from addons) do not stay removed if the user sets them that way. In particular, I have the LyricMaster (1.6.1.1) addon installed. It adds a "lyrics" column. I can remove it, but when I close and open Songbird, it comes back. The rest of Songbird's columns behave properly: if you remove them, they stay removed.

Always reproducible. I understand this could be a problem with LyricMaster, but it is likely a problem with how Songbird handles addons.

Songbird sometimes "trips" on songs.

Sometimes songs will trip (gives a skipping sound) on parts of non-corrupt songs. This wasn't a problem in 0.7. It's probably an issue that occurred when moving to GStreamer.

I have yet to be able to reproduce it on demand. Have other people been noticing a similar problem?

Checkbox to select/unselect songs from playlist

Checkbox to "unselect" a song to be played while in Shuffle or Linear(?) mode, but still allows the use to play the song when they manually chose to listen to it. I guess sort of like iTunes (how I hate that word).
