I started to disable all my add-ons and it's much better.
Now enabling one add-on at a time and I found already 1 culpit:
MASHTAPE 1.0.7
takes about 40% of my CPU...
searching for others

i think it would be cool if songbird could delete from drive too, like how itunes can send to recycle bin. i often use these functionality :)

Not true. you can set it to do the same in linux. about:config in the address bar, then search for backspace and change the value to 0 and linux firefox backspace goes back.

I'm going to pitch in one other scenario.

I have a large collection of speeches and talks as well as a few audio books. I don't need them mixed with my music. I do want them same application though, because there are a few portable players that handle the difference well and I hope to get one of them at some point for both music and spoken word.

In the context menu when right clicking on a file add function open folder or location. This is a necessary function. Supposedly the file that is in the library is stored in a folder/network location where a new file was added and user forgot the file or folder path location. This is a must for all those with short attention spans, dyslexics or somewhat alzheimers (j/k). Anyways please add...

Same issue here... interrupts music now and then... (annoying!)
XP SP3, 1GBRAM, 1,9GHZ, Dell Inspiron 9300
1749 Songs
92-99% CPU - 246MB RAM (not rising)
Got some Add-ons...
I guess it's not resolved yet.

I have the same problem.

Somewhat inexplicably, some podcasts and a single song by "Cake" imported properly, but nothing else (~8000 songs) did.

I'm facing the same problem. Local computer is Windows Vista, remote computer with actual files is Gentoo Linux x86_64. Using ssh to connect.

I use material stored here, in my work as a counselor. Being able to apply user defined
terms would make Songbird more user friendly.

Matt replied on September 26, 2008 08:01 to the idea "EQ and applet" in Songbird:

Here's the thing; In my view; GOOD SOUND MUST COME FIRST, or none of the other cool features will matter. In addition to this thread there are threads & bug reports about volume limiting/Normalization & some complaints about the sound. -- see:
http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/t...
etc.

Now we know the Dev's have heard these requests, & they're on the list, & that we're waiting on GStreamer, but improving the sound & sound tools still doesn't appear to be highest on the list according to the Roadmap.

I would've thought that making the player work well & sound good -as a music player- would come first (and even be easier?) rather than implementing some of the fancier web-related features.
For one thing; I think most of us already have ways to find content, both files and streams. I buy most of my music from Amazon, & listen to SomaFM a lot. & we already have a great web-browser; Firefox.

- so once it sounds really good, we could adopt the player as our main music-player early, & show it off to more people, & wait as cool web-search features, & cover art, & even video playback, etc. are developed.

just my 2cents. Still exited...

A comment on the question "Does Songbird play CD's?" in Songbird:

when when, please i'd like to know it. is there a developers to-do list or somewhere I can find it – sebaskoot, on September 25, 2008 21:12

I would like to see a 2-pass EQ like VLC has. It's better than a normal bass-boost option, in my opinion, because you can enhance the effect of your music on all frequency ranges.

This can't be true! Hits me very hard.

Wurstmann replied on September 20, 2008 12:50 to the idea "Last.fm-like multiple tag system" in Songbird:

Great idea! This feature would Singbirg become the killer application!

Also, I agree with faaaab's point, that tags are personal and should be stored locally. You can also think of tags like "heard in summer of 99" or something like that.
I think for the same reason, the rating information in singbird is not saved in the metadata (windows media player does that).

Up-to-date system requirements for Songbird can now be found on the Songbird site.

I am very impressed at the first glance to Songbird. But seeing there was no EQ was a real disappointment.
