Improve Cross Platform Support Not Video
Hoping to see things done differently? Yes!
I see from the roadmap that pretty soon developers are heading off to add video support for Songbird. I for one would much rather see better device support for all platforms than forgetting about non-Windows users and heading off into video land. Get the basics working for ALL platforms first. At this time I still can't even do simple MSC syncing (on Linux). I think if Songbird intends to be the Firefox of music managers then take a cue from Mozilla and make sure you really do have cross-platform support and not a spotty dog version of it.
Maybe I'm wrong here but I want to use Songbird for songs and music not videos. I listen to music on my music player and I suspect that most people would rather this work first before getting superfluous with video.

Inappropriate?Songbird it's very memory consuming already, and I'm afraid that video support will make it heavier already.
I will not use songbird for video, having vlc player, media player classic, and so on. -
Inappropriate?Yes it is important to me too that songbird is a fully rounded and supported first. Seriously if video appears above Linux and mac support I would not be surprised to find a fork in this project to remedy the shortcomings on Linux at least
I’m anxious
