STOP songbird updating music library
Its nice that songbird updates my lib. by itself..but when I delete songs i dont want in there, every time it updates, it brings back the songs that i thought i deleted. is there a way to turn this feature off or eliminate it from happening?
also, every time i edit a song, it usually tells me i cant edit the metadata for some reason. confused? should i ignore this or is this a problem? helps me please?

Inappropriate?Songbird stops updating your library if you disable Media Importer | Automatically watch for changes in the following folder in the Options.
The metadata problem...
Maybe the filetype isn't supported for writing tags. In this case, the message tells you, that the current tag of the file will be different from the tag shown in songbird if you change metadata. Songbird changes the metadata only in the Library and not in the file, if the filetype isn't supported for writing. -
-
Inappropriate?Any other Media Importer options (for example iTunes import) enabled?
If not, what does the described update do? Do you use Manage Music? -
Inappropriate?"managed mode" under manage music was on because i was told apparently that stopped it from updating. should i turn it off? and no, nothing under media importer was enabled.
-
Inappropriate?I don't use Manage Music. And my English is that bad that I don't understand what you want to say with "because i was told apparently that stopped it from updating". Is there a problem to turn it of for a short time to check if it is the problem?
What kind of deleting do you try?
Deleting in filesystem?
Deleting in songbird?
What kind of update is that?
Manage Music?
I think you should try turning off Manage Music, test if it works. If you need Manage Music and it is the problem, you might have to use another deleting method (deleting the File, too or at least putting it into another folder outside of manage music's folder). -
Inappropriate?You may also want to wait for the next release 1.4 apparently due within the next fortnight. A lot of bugs related to music management and metadata writing have been corrected there.
Then, test if your issue persists.
Also, messages to the user about Manage Files and Watch Folders features have been made much more clearer.
I’m confident
