These are my "Most eagerly awaited features", all of them listed under upcoming features in the Roadmap

CD Ripping/burning.
Probably the single most wanted feature is for Songbird to be able to manage CD’s. Although this kickass media player have the chance to present a larger variety of options where it really matters; What about the ability to rip a CD directly to your iPod/MTP device without adding any tracks to your computers hard drive and counter wise?

BitTorrent Support.
This would be a great complement to present music searchengines like SeeqPod. Offering an easy maneuverable view over your music, and the music you’re about to receive. Of course, this is also a matter of right or wrong when downloading files, music movies etc, but on the other hand, no one will ever force you to download anything if you don’t want to, and not all material is illegal to fetch. I guess this is a personal choice, although I’ve made mine.

Support visualizations.
I know this isn’t important in any way, but still. Imagine what could happen if it was built so regular users could create their own visualizations? Who knows what psychedelic results we would end up with?

Concert calendar/Ticket purchasing integration.
Exactly how awesome wouldn’t this be? No need to chasing through the net to find date/time/location/price anymore, because Songbird would do it automatically!
Efficiency is the key!

10-foot feather so Songbird can be used on a TV, etc.
This would so make my day! The thought of Songbird in high definition just makes me shiver.

Winamp skin to Songbird feather converter.
This one is interesting. Since I’ve very limited knowledge about Winmap skinning, it’ll be exciting to see how it’s going to be done. And obviously, if this opens any new possibilities in feathering.

Hey,

I'm the developer of the Now Playing gadget for the Vista Sidebar which you can see here

A few people have commented on my Blog that they want Songbird support. I wanted to check, if I made the gadget support viewing the current playing Songbird track and fetching album art and lyrics etc, would there be much demand for that?

Let me know what you think of having a Sidebar gadget for Songbird
