non-modal interface for importing music and fetching album artwork mock-up included
I think it would be great to have a non-modal interface for importing music and fetching album artwork. Currently, importing music or fetching album artwork creates a modal pop-up. While fetching album artwork it disables the user from toggling the interface. The process maybe long and with out a media keyboard the user cannot change a song or adjust anything. With this idea executed properly this will solve issuefetchingalbumartworkismodal
With this it will be more streamlined and not as obtrusive to the user.

Inappropriate?I completely agree! One of my favorite parts of Firefox is how the dialogs and find function are so non-invasive.
The dialogs in Songbird, such as for importing songs, getting album art, or changing metadata, feel like roadblocks. The only thing you can do in the program is watch the progress bars move along and wait until the program gives you back control. I think the non-modal type of progress bar in your mockup would be perfect. I am hoping that the team improves some parts of Songbird's interface in one of the upcoming releases, because things like this would make the program feel simpler and more responsive.
And I like reading Aza's blog sometimes too. :)

Inappropriate?Thank's guys, I'm going to assume this will be semi-simple. A lot of the web features already use it. That makes this even inconsistent. I hope more people can get on board and more developers.
I’m happy
