How do I play songs from my hard drive library?
How do I play songs from my library? I can see all of my music on my hard drive, and I simply can't figure out how to play them! I am no dummy when it comes to programs and computers and I simply cannot figure it out. Highlighting the album/folder/songs and pushing the Play button starts streaming the last radio station I listened to. This is frustrating! I do not want to creat Sonbird specific playlists for all of my music! ACK!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Anlace,
So that I can assist you, please let me know:
1) what version of Songbird you are using;
2) what operating system you are using; and
3) a step-by-step rundown of how to reproduce this error.
Thanks.1 Comment

Hi Laura,
I am using the version of Songbird that I downloaded from the site yesterday. I am not in that operating system at the moment so I can't tell you which version specifically.
The operating system is Windows XP Pro with all of the latest service packs and updates.
I would not classify the "problem" that I found to be an error, I would say that it is a user interface annoyance, honestly almost a deal breaker for me since it took a long time to figure out that I needed to double-click the first song in a list before any of them would play.
Seems simple enough BUT every other music player that I've used lets you play music by pushing the "Play" button. Instead of that I had to mess around and mess around until it occurred to me to double click. Nowhere did I see any mention that this is the only way to get music to play from the hard drive.
Thanks for witnessing my rant. For what it's worth I would suggest putting some indicator of how to get local music to play somewhere. Or better yet have it play when a user is in the Library, has music selected and pushes the Play button.
Peace,

Inappropriate?if the last thing you played was your local library, then pushing the play button should start playing your library(it does for me at least)
I’m indifferent
