Importing old songbird library?
Hi
I love songbird, I just got finished sorting out my library, when songbird .6 came out. Is there any way to import my old library into the new version.
Thanks for the help.

Inappropriate?Sorry, we've made significant changes to the database schema in 0.6 in order to improve performance in the library. You'll have to re-scan your media into 0.6.
I’m sorry!

Inappropriate?WOW I already love songbird more, a response in like 5 mins?!?!? Ok well thanks for the help on that.
I changed song names and album names, is there anyway to import those?
Once more, thanks for the help.
Edit: It writes meta data?!?!? thats great. This is good, better for me redo my library.
I’m Super hyper happy

Inappropriate?this makes me want to not use songbird. i lost all my songs and now i have to spend the day trying to find and import my songs. plus the fact that i can only open one file at a time, i think i may switch to a different media player until these issues are changed.
I’m pissed off

Inappropriate?stevo, I apologize for the inconvenience. We're still in active development and during this time we'll be making significant changes to Songbird in order to improve our key performance metrics and land major features. Until Songbird reaches beta our early users should expect that there will be changes like this during each successive release. Meanwhile, you should use the media scan feature and let Songbird do the tedious work of finding your media.

Inappropriate?How can I get my playlists back at least? And there definitely should be a warning that you will lose your old library in the upgrade -
Inappropriate?I think the best you can do is use the Playlist Export Tool before you upgrade. If you've already upgraded, unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do. Just a note about pre-alpha, and early stage software: as Songbird is not yet even to beta, we will be making significant changes as we go along. You will sometimes experience partial losses of user data as we progress, this includes add-ons you had installed, library scans, and playlists. Metadata saved to your tracks will be okay. I'll talk to the product team about making sure we have better warnings during the upgrade scenarios too.

Inappropriate?"The march towards our first public beta has begun!"
That mean if user don't want to lost parameters they have to wait for 1.0 :D
I’m amused

Inappropriate?It's a joke, I remember they told devellopers that DB has change and how to move 0.5 to 0.6 db but they don't told users :(
I’m amused
