This is NOT fixed. RC2 is leaking at 1M per minute.

Just for the record, songbird is now using more memory than my windows 2003 VM. With 100 songs in playlist and two shoutcast streams. That's f***ing amazing.

This isn't fixed! It still leaks ~1M of memory every minute if not more. Pretending its fixed doesn't make the problem go away. Why is this marked fixed??

First of all, yes. There is definitely a huge memory leak. After a few hours the memory footprint has more than doubled.

The additional factor is that the *starting* footprint. It starts at 200M, with 100 songs and two shoutcast streams in my favorites. After only a few hours of playing a single shoutcast feed, its now over 500M. That's a pretty severe leak, and a pretty severe bug in the startup memory usage.

For those of you saying "oh, well compare it to iTunes". No problem. Equivalent library in itunes, it starts as 50M. Songbird already loses by a factor of 4.

As to the question of what I define "reasonable" - I'd take equal to iTunes. I'd think less would be quite possible considering iTunes "does" more in general and could be considered more bloated (though in an arguably good way).
