Wow. Ok, so here's the official word on device support.
We're working on it.
This wiki page will take you to all the iPod's we know we support and ditto for MTP's.
If your specific device is not supported yet, you can file a bug at bugzilla.songbirdnest.com we can add it to our growing list of devices to support in future releases.
If you don't have a free bugzilla account, signing up is quick and easy and will allow you to share your feedback directly with the development team
As a side note, it is possible for your device to start working through future versions of the MTP addon without us working directly with your device. If device support is a critical issue for you, please check back with Songbird in a future release.

The USB Mass Storage extension is Windows-only though. I have a Dell DJ Ditty and run Ubuntu Linux. -

Check out this thread.. iPod help & STOP button feature problem (request?)
......................Basically for the iPod to work with songbird, I found out that you might have to manually download the iPod addon (http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/12) and install it through songbird's addons... Don't know why this worked manually and not automatically through songbird's inner-program, but it might be a minor bug..........................Reading the addon comments, it sounds like the iTouch & iPhone are still not supported yet (not sure though, since I don't have those iPod models) -
Inappropriate?What do I gotta do to get my Sony NW-S703F to sync with Songbird.?? Ihave the latest version of Songbird and have the MTP Device Support 1.0.8.

This sucks. Are there plans to add Linux support anytime soon?
-
Inappropriate?Someone missed the mark on this one. I've got Songbird 0.6.1 and MTP 0.8 installed. My songbird doesn't even recognize my phone (N95) is plugged in, even though it appears in my WIndows Media Player device list and in My Computer.
Something funky is going on. Help please!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've noticed that Songbird even with the MTP add-on won't recognise my iriver clix2.
Will look forward to when the kinks are sorted out though.

Inappropriate?Will there be MTP support for Mac users? I just downloaded ver. 1.0 RC3 and there's no indication of such support. If its in the works, any idea when to expect it?

Inappropriate?Hello, I bought my kids an ASUS pc each(linux). They want to know categorically that if they download Songbird for ipod nano 2nd Gen, that it will behave intuitive to itunes. e.g. will start up and allow xfer of tunes from pc to ipod and vice versa. I'm not getting a fuzzy warm feeling from the questions I've seen so far. Neil in Bosham

Inappropriate?i have a 16 GB ZEN player from creative -- not the new X-Fi, just the plain old ZEN. it shows up, all my media shows up which is lovely (windows media player doesn't manage that), but nothign will play!
i get an error message saying songbird has encountered a media core error: No URI handler implemented for "x-mtp"
i'm only semi-computer literate, so... i'm not sure what this means, lol. but anyhelp at all will be appreciated! this looks like a great player.
I’m disappointed
-
Inappropriate?I have a Sansa E250 v1 with the stable songbird, and latest windows, and my device isnt seen, how do i manually point too it?
I’m mildly annoyed
-
Inappropriate?my mp3 player is displayed in "my computer" as a portable hard drive oder something. why cant songbird just put files on it like "drag and drop" does?
why do you have to make specified gateways for every different player?
winamp can do it, too.
btw, i have a creative ZEN nano plus. something like a usb-stick. -
Inappropriate?Hey I found songbird very helpful and interesting to use. However, I am disappointed with two missing features (maybe its there and I don't knew it). One is that I can't make a Separate playlist folder as I could do in iTunes and another is when I right click on a song from the playlist it has no option to insert an artwork for the song.
Let me know is there is an add on for this features which I would have missed from the list. Or we can't help it ?
-
Inappropriate?@Faiz;
You can change/insert artwork by rightclick >Edit Metadata and then select the proper cover.
Or you can just drag and drop it onto the AlbumArt display pane. -
Inappropriate?Hey thanks Lenny, however, why don't you people implement a feature of creating a playlist folders in Songbird, it makes it very easy to navigate music through iPod.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?tried downloading Songbird to My laptop, it has Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. Download went fine but when i go to extract the .zip file...I end up with a bunch of un-usable files with .gif pics, and mouse pointers.
Is songbird out for 8.10?
That would solve my problem, then i could just wait for the version to come out.
I’m confused

You need to install from the .deb which you can find here: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keyw...

Inappropriate?When can we expect iTouch support and how do you open a new tab to browse the web. second will we be able to update our ipods thru SB or will we still need iTunes for that? And the side panes dnt remember any size modifications i made before retracting them they always come back at a default size. i love this idea of a mediaplayer/browser and i want it to work cuz its sweet. and dnt forget to allow us to pin shortcuts to websites on the top below the adress bar. and for some reason facebook will not recognise songbird as an up to date version of Firefox. and the main music list should sync with whats playing in the side playlist pane and whats actually playing. and i think it would be great if album art could be searched for based on song title and artist as opposed to just album alone. thnx
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?@ Justin
iTouch support does not have an ETA yet. See Bug # 6389 for more info.
To open a new tab go to file<new tab. Shortcuts vary based on OS.
-
Inappropriate?With the Add-On FolderSync there is the opportunity to sync with all folders.
So all Mass-Storage-Devices should work with Songbird.
The Add-On is platform-independent.

Thanks for posting back here with that rsjtdrjgf... I should probably search all of our iPhone/iTouch support requests with that message. There has to be at least 50, so it's a bit of a project! :0)
