Remove the farting.
Seriously, you should remove the Songbird's constant flatulence. It's not funny, or snarky, or whatever you were going for. It's juvenile. And, no matter the quality of the codebase, it sends the message "We are not taking this seriously". I'd like to see you succeed, I like your software, but it's significantly less appealing like this. It's kind of like going to the store and seeing a good product labeled "Sucks less!" - it's sending the wrong message.
I’m disappointed

I like it. It gives this whole project a human touch. Many software company's out there just look too damn serious. I like this approach!
I’m silly

If that's the only thing you can find wrong with Songbird, they are in good shape.
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?Actually, they don't. Both in software and biologically speaking. They are plumbed quite differently than you and I.
And there ARE other problems with Songbird other than just this - I still prefer the Zune software from a functional standpoint. PLEASE, work on the interface! Typical of OSS type projects, great complexity is masked by, well, not much. Look at iTunes or Zune (Or even early versions of Winamp, before it stopped significantly improving and started "Whipping the llama's ass!") for a good example of a nice, clean interface that can be dug into, but can work well forever with no user customization. AND, importing music in AAC format always seems to lose album art, perhaps other metadata is lost as well, but I uninstalled Songbird so I don't know.
Hooray Web 2.0 and all that, but it seems to me that there is a level of professionalism missing from a lot of software these days. I'd rather have something that is functionally correct and consistent rather than something that is all shine and new features anyday.
I’m still disappointed

Inappropriate?Thanks for all of your opinions, guys!
My opinion that our designers are doing the good job in keeping it simple yet functional.

>>PLEASE, work on the interface!
That's what we're working on for our next release.
Give us your opinion after 0.7 is out live.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?I don't really care either way. But if I have to choose, I'd say remove the farting. Its unnecessary and juvenile. Its the sort of thing a 5 yr old might find it funny. At least remove it once songbird reaches v1.0.
I’m indifferent

It's not meant to make you laugh, it's just another little quirk our mascot bird has.

Inappropriate?seriously, i have to say, some of these comments are funny enough alone to make a good reason to keep the farts. please don't take this personally! who cares if birds don't fart.
anyways, it's just a baby bird. it can't help it! besides, every time it grows it gets a little "shinier."
I’m loving the birdie farts, warms the heart

Inappropriate?Maybe you shouldn't take it as flatulence and more like propulsion (some fishes use flatulence for propulsion)

Inappropriate?idgi what's his problem? what songbird farting?

Inappropriate?I think it's funny. Maybe juvenile, but funny.
It's a part of Songbirds character. Making it too serious would lead to boring software.
