Disable File Modification - Stop Songbird from modifying Media Files?!?
I had a bunch of songs go bad. I don't blame any particular application BUT...
I want to make sure that Songbird does not modify my media files in ANY way. Is this possible via some Songbird setting??
I don't want Songbird to write to (update) my media files nor my tags.
I only want Songbird to play the files AS THEY ARE.
Don't care about play counts, ratings, nor any thing of that nature.
I want Songbird to operate in read-only mode as far as my media files go.

Inappropriate?Hey vir101010,
Go to about:config in the address bar,
search for songbird.metadata.enableWriting
Double-click it to set it to false
Any Songbird won't touch your files in any way...

Inappropriate?Thanks Michael !! Sounds great.
I really hope the developers keep this feature in future releases.
Personally, I would never use a player without this feature... Now I can go back to using Songbird again.
I’m thankful
