Ipod Touch Support?
I cant get song bird to recognize my ipod touch. I dont know if it just doesnt support ipod touches but i can seem to get it to work. I really hope that if its not supported it will be in the future. I really like this program and want and alternative to the terrible itunes.
I’m hopeful

We still do not support the iPhone or the iPod Touch. Apple has made it very clear that they will do whatever is within their power to prevent other software from interoperating with their hardware. (And vice versa, as the Palm Pre folks found out!) We'll continue to hope that Apple chooses to embrace open standards in the future, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
In the mean time, we've implemented 2-way synchronization between iTunes and Songbird, so that at least Songbird users out there have the option of transferring their Songbird playlists onto their Apple devices.

Inappropriate?Unfortunately we are not currently supporting the iPod Touch or the iPhone. We have bug 6389 open for this.

Inappropriate?Curses! I was hoping my iPhone would be supported. I couldn't imagine how difficult this might be, considering it's tightly locked down from Apple. :( Good luck, guys, I'm hoping for a spot for this on your roadmap!
I’m eager but satisfied.

Inappropriate?I'm sure the developers know this but Amarok manages this by mounting a jailbroken iPod / iPhone over SSH then uses some kind of magic(tm) to transfer the files... Cover art works and everything, maybe songbird could do this for the time being? Would imagine the offical Apple cables have those evil Apple authentication chips built in ruling out syncing to anything but iTunes. Boo hiss at you Apple, but you do make nice hardware.

this would work for all of us with jailbroken ones except you need to sync with itunes for apps and video anyway :( -
Inappropriate?Just FYI, I added the latest from this strand and called out the 50 "me too's" in the open bug for this: http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show...

Inappropriate?Couldnt figure out how to put this into bugzilla so I am posting it here
mlipod http://mlipod.sourceforge.net/ now has experimental support for ipod touch 2.x firmware withouth patching the device.
Thought this might help with your endeavors as I am on a Mac and want an alternative to itunes.2 Comments Add a comment

Inappropriate?Media Monkey can sync to iPhones / iPod Touch. It's not perfect as it only supports music and podcasts and requires itunes to be installed, but it's a start. Only problem is that MM is not open source project.
So it's doable

Inappropriate?Ah, so the public finally sees how Apple operates: not just vendor lock-in, but being a jerk about it, too: preventing hackers from doing their job.
Dear friends, please avoid Apple at all costs. They are no better than Microsoft. Well, they're worse, actually.
I’m giddy at expsore of Apple's follies
-
Inappropriate?that's too bad :( I was hoping they would is there anything else that would support Ipod Touch? -
Inappropriate?the bottom of your trash bin will support that iPod Touch pretty well...assuming that the electrostatic forces between the subatomic particles in the atoms that make up the molecules in both the trash can and the iPod Touch exist...which in most cases they do, with the exception of inside a black hole.
I’m as serious as death.

Inappropriate?I have no idea what you just said lol

Inappropriate?It's a physics joke...just ignore it until you take Physics: Electricity and Magnetism in high school or college.

Inappropriate?I don't get it

Inappropriate?The only thing that prevents you and me from simply passing through walls or falling through the floor to the center of the earth's mass are electrostatic forces. They are strong enough in nearly all situations to prevent things from simply passing through one another. Inside a black hole, however, these forces are broken by the force of so much mass so close together. We have no real idea what's inside a black hole because it defies these typical situations where the electrostatic forces are king.
so, your trash can will support your iPod Touch pretty well, unless it's inside a black hole.
I'm saying you should ultimately throw away your iPod Touch.
I’m fatigued

Inappropriate?I downloaded the Songbird remote application for my 8gb ipod touch. When i try to select a songbird to connect to, none show up. I installed the add-on that should make it work, but nothing is happening. Is this a common problem?

Inappropriate?I just installed songbird on my ubuntu system. I did this mainly because i can't connect my ipod 32 GB touch to any other ubuntuprograms. But i can't see any options for connecting in songbird and it wont appear by it self. It would be great with a little bit of help - my ubuntu skills are limited so an explanation for dummies would be great :)
