Inappropriate?Try it out. If your EEE PC uses Linux, you will need to get gstreamer packages for full codec support.
If you use Windows, disregard the following:
What packages depend on your Linux distro. We have a guide to the packages here for our officially support Linux distros. If your distro is not listed, the packages may be different. Unfortunately, since there are so many Linux distros, we need to draw a line in the sand somewhere. If your distro is outside the distros listed on the link included, perhaps someone in the community can help.
There should be similar packages as listed in the above link for your distro though. You may have to do a little research to find them.
Let us know how you make out. -
Inappropriate?I know at least one person who has successfully run Songbird on the EEE, but I believe he was running Ubuntu on it. -
Inappropriate?Hi Giessie,
I'm sure you found out by now, but there is a way to run Songbird with the installed Xandros OS on the eee: do a search on eeeuser.com for "songbird", I posted some human-friendlier instructions, see post #8 of this thread:

The problem with the Asus flavor of the Xandros OS is the repositories are not up to date: they had Songbird 0.4 and I couldn't for the life of me get 0.6 to work (I'm not very good in the Linux world) - when 0.7 came out, I switched to Ubuntu. Also the 0.7 skin fits so *very* nicely in the 4G's 800x480 resolution! Some tweaking was required to get everything running smoothly
Note: if you plan on installing Ubuntu on the eee, visit Array.org!
