Songbird 1.8.0.1800

Rated 50/50 by guitarplayer9999 at Feb 6, 2008

The best media player I have ever used. Well at least it is heading that way anyways. I have been using this player since 2.5 and it is very promising.

Still too buggy to use. Also, looks A LOT like J River Media Center. Too much to be accidental.

Still buggy, still doesn't work with my ipod touch... when it does and when they sort out the ram issue this will kick arse! when that day comes, I will uninstall itunes and there will be much much rejoicing (I loathe itunes)

If you are experiencing problems with Songbird and have used a previous version of Songbird, delete your profile. Using previous versions of Songbird profiles in current versions of Songbird has been known to cause major problems.

Not anywhere near there yet. Call me when it properly handles: Smart Playlists (I thought it might by the words "dynamic playlists", but sadly, no.) Auto-deletion of listened to podcasts.

It is a very pretty application, and includes some nice - and fundamental - features like Last.FM/Audioscrobbler support. Unfortunately the memory use is enormous, it is processor heavy, and the real killer for me: it doesn't have gapless playback.

My favorite media player. Although it is still in development it is very promising. Every week it gets better and I think it is the future of media players.

grr.. still no ipod touch/iphone support.... otherwise, it's a damn fine application. Not without it's problems (memory usage and stability) but it's still an early beta. when this matures it will be superb. Just hope it matures quickly so I can ditch iTunes

0.5 still doesn't suppport my ipod touch (nor iphone) sigh... wish it did.. as 0.5 brings some good features. If you have a regular mp3 player, it's a great application. Probably better than Mediamonkey IMO, and of course, better than the pile or steaming **it that is iTunes. when it supports my ipod touch, I will certainly switch to it (currently using a mix of iCRAP and mediamonkey)

So, how exactly the privacy option to send anonymous usage metrics, which you have an option to turn off, was violated? Exactly what data, which shouldn't have been transmitted, was collected and sent from your system?

I can't stand apps that call home. This is not a media player it's a call home to tell them what's on your computer, and connect you to sites that sell music app. Installed it hated it and removed it.

Shows great promise, but unfortunately this version crashes while scanning metadata on my machine.

This is an excelent browser and media player, it has bugs but they are few. I'm in love with songbird.

This is not RC1. This is the latest Blessed Nightly (IE a stable nightly build) that was built May 9th.

Some one has to know the answer... Why is the bird always farting? Is it meant to be funny? Err... didn't find it more productive than AIMP (my recently new choice), and it takes a lot of screen to display all of it's functionality. Big fat design, not efficient. I guess the buzz is about the mozilla code and open source thing...

very good project but still very heavy 4 for this reason

I love Songbird, but until it finally poops (ref to the farting bird) and is less clunky, I'll not replace foobar with it =)

Rated 30/50 by jakski at May 30, 2008

uses way too much resources, memory alone over 100,00K plus...thats a drag cause i like the program.. right now im using foobar and a old version of musicmatch and both use under 25,000K..i hope the can do something with that...
