Delete button doesn't work in Songbird
I searched for this problem and although there were a few topics about people having trouble deleting stuff, I couldn't find the problem that I am experiencing. I run Songbird in OSX (on a Macbook Pro), and pressing delete on anything in the library, such as songs, albums, artists, playlists, doesn't remove anything or prompt any dialog. If I press delete on a song, nothing appears to happen at all. If I press delete while on a playlist, Songbird just selects the Library node in the navigation pane and nothing happens to the playlist. To make sure it wasn't just some strange problem with my computer, I checked Songbird on two of my friends' laptops (Macbooks) and it didn't do anything either. I can right click anything, go to remove, and that works fine. Can anyone out there running Songbird on OSX confirm whether or not you can delete something from Songbird using the delete button?
I’m baffled

Inappropriate?Yeah, I just tried Command+Delete and it always gives the OSX sound of denial (funk).

Inappropriate?I can't believe this has never come up before because it seems like it would affect a lot of people. Maybe it has just never bothered anyone enough to make them do anything about it. In any case, I filed a bug to bugzilla and hopefully it will be resolved: http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show...2 Comments

Don't you mean this?

Ah, I see you've already fixed your link. ;) -
You know, I noticed that I posted the wrong link and edited it so fast I didn't think anyone would notice, but I always forget that GetSatisfaction emails your initial post to people following the thread, so I need to be more careful from now on before I click "Post Comment". And thank you for having this late-night conversation with me Dustin and confirming the problem. :P

Inappropriate?As suggested in the Bugzilla post, I downloaded a nightly build of Songbird and the delete button does seem to work now on songs in the library. However, I noticed that if you select a playlist and hit delete it performs the "Back" command, and goes to the last place you had selected. Hitting Command-Delete still just makes a sound. And they noted that pressing delete on a filter is not intended to do anything, but I believe it should delete all songs found under that filter since that is generally the expected result when someone tries to delete one. It seems like not having this behavior just makes it more difficult than it has to be to delete an artist or album.
