My Songbird is constantly open, and it will be amazingly comfortable to control it throe the said task bar, and probably not much of a programing challenge.

Keep them as is...
[Tasks]
- Stop/Play (change the name and icon dynamically to match the behavior)
- Next Track
- Previous Track
- Switch to MiniPlayer / Switch to Full Player (change dynamically).
Changing the volume from the Jump menu probably wouldn't work too well. Can hardly wait. Now if only they'd fix the problem with songs getting clipped near the end...

This is mostly for managed code (C# or VB), however the source is available and it might provide some insight as to how to add buttons to the thumbnail preview etc (about two lines in C#).
I'm not sure how to do aero snap with non-native windows such as songbird's, or even if it is possible through an addon (I am not a C++ or XUL developer - though i have seen something similar put together for something else), however this would certainly be nice!
I'd also like to put in a request for the ability to watch a windows 7 library (I saw this in a different thread, but just to make sure we get it!). I believe this is also capable through the windows API code pack.
Of course, everybody is going to have their own opinion about the integration with windows 7, and I wish all those involved the best of luck with keeping everybody happy!
* Taskbar thumbnail buttons such as those on WMP
* Taskbar progress bars (like those on the new explorer file copy dialog)
* Library support
* Tabs previewed on the thumbnail (like how IE8 does it)

If Songbird update to Gecko 1.9.2, this feature will be easy to do :)
Could Songbird also get Jump List support for Windows 7?

that would be better than nothing, but I think what we all want is support of the buttons in the aero peek popup. Microsoft has posted an API to do this, and it's been linked to in other comments

But it seems that is not the case?? Or do I need to activate it in some setting?
