syberjj replied on November 24, 2009 15:56 to the idea "DAAP/iTUNES-SHARING and RADIO PLAYLIST support" in Songbird:

I don't think Direct Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) should be implemented. iTunes sharing features all suck badly and everyone knows about it. Most people looking at songbird are awaiting an alternative, just search for "share" and see how many people answer.
If songbird is to be an iTunes rip its a failed project. The future is to be different and better, not just an "iTunes open source alternative". I mean, WHY? iTunes is already free, why would I use an open source version of it that will always lack behind with bugs?
If you are interested in creating a new player rather then ripping off iTunes maybe you will enjoy this: http://gsfn.us/t/d23o (also covers your radio stations issue)

syberjj replied on October 23, 2009 21:48 to the idea "Songbird should have a splash screen" in Songbird:

On slow computers songbird might take a long time to load (over 40s to open the window and some more until it starts responding on my new EeePC 1005HA netbook).

Many times, when I use the touchpad to open it I don't even know if it is loading or the touchpad didn't respond.

Add a loading screen tot he program, something to say "yes it is loading, hold on". Something nice, like the songbird hatching from an egg, spreading its wings and starting to sing. No huge animation, just 4-5 little images.

Add a Loading screen.

syberjj asked a question in Songbird on October 20, 2009 03:37:

Can I update my library from mobile sources?

I have on computer at home running songbird and a netbook with songbird on it. I add new files to my library, new playlists, ratings and rename files on both computers (and "manage my media" is turned on).
How can I merge these changes into one database without loosing the changes I did separately? Currently it is useless to make any changes to my netbook library since they always get lost and I have to re-add new songs manually when I get home..

thanks allot!

Sounds similar to my vision here.

And along the lines of the Share Library between multiple PC's (and OS's) and iTunes 9 homeshare alternative topics..

Just noticed I cant edit the main post, but I just have to add Michael's Vision here:
The Future of Songbird

syberjj replied on September 15, 2009 15:38 to the idea "iTunes 9 homeshare alternative" in Songbird:

homeshare is a flawed idea i think. songbird can do MUCH better...
try this: get that post count up
I think it is much more complete than homeshare
