It is unfortunate that you young people don't understand fidelity at all. Do you even know which services has the most byte density MP3 for better fidelity? Have you ever heard of a Carver amp? Have you heard music through a Carver amp? Boss 900 speakers in a music room, klipsch corner horn in a music room? A mastered LP on a top B&O turntable? – Tom, on October 26, 2008 15:29

Write a nice how to, step by step on how to do it on linux, and I will give it a try. I am wiling to learn knew tricks, I just don't want to spend 1 month researching how to do it. If it is really straight forward, then I will use it. – Tom, on October 26, 2008 15:21

Thanks for spamming me. One comment in one place or even this diatribe would have been sufficient. I am a software programmer and the reason software gets bloated isn't because of features, but poor implementation in the User Interface and in code. Plugins are a good way to implement this, but not necessary. When I put a CD in, I want it to play the CD. I want the play “area” to have a rip button. I am an all in one user too. Just like my Office software: Write, Spreadsheet, Presentation. I don' want three different “products” from three different groups. I want a suite. That is what people normally want today.

If Songbird was smart they would create a wrapper around an existing open source program with an exposed API, and use it for ripping and burning. I am sure the other projects would even add new APIs to make it easier. Now ripping and burning for Songbird and I will continue to wait on something else. I can tell you I will never get my kids to use it without these two features. They will assume it is broken software. – Tom, on October 25, 2008 13:32

I am with mlp on this one. I want one stop management of my media content. The easiest way for me to figure out what SongBird can do and how it does it, is to Rip a CD and play around. I can't even do that without spending more time to find another program to rip, is there a special directory that I need to put them in, once there will SongBird see them automatically, If not, how do I get SongBird to see them? You know what, maybe I will stay with Windows ;-) All in one is much better. – Tom, on September 23, 2008 22:03

Songbird is useless to me without this feature. To bad as it looks like it might be a nice product.

I have a library of about 200 cds. I burn several cds before I go on a road trip. About 3 a month. Songbird is worthless to me without this capability. – Tom, on August 18, 2008 22:55
