Once enabled, it will consolidate your media in one location. You can customize the structure of the folder and file names based on metadata contained in every track. 2-Way iTunes Import/Export If you’re using iTunes Music Store to purchase content, you can now automatically expose iTunes library tracks and playlists into Songbird. You can also export tracks and playlists added to Songbird back into iTunes, so that they can easily be synced to your iPhone or iPod touch. Last.fm Radio Last.fm Radio supports artist, tag, and user stations, mapping station links on the Last.fm website to play internally in Songbird. It includes the Radio Directory allowing you to conveniently browse and explore the tag and artist relationships on Last.fm. Additionally, the Radio directory includes quick links for playing stations based on your Last.fm library, your Songbird library, and friends/neighbors’ libraries. 10-band Equalizer Now you can tweak the frequency response of the audio playback to match your room’s acoustics or your personal preferences. KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES Below are the high profile bugs/issues which are known to still be open for this release. You can also check the Common Duplicates page for lesser profile known issues. NOTE: For playback of DRM-encrypted files, make sure you have gone to store from which you purchased those tracks to learn how to authorize your computer to play them. Songbird will be able to play DRM-encrypted tracks as soon as your machine has been authorized. The following are not yet supported by Songbird (will be planned for future releases): Video Import and Playback, Podcast Subscriptions and Playback, CD Rip and Burn We've attempted to address the requests for native iPhone and iPod Touch support by including the two-way iTunes synchronization feature. Let us know how this alternative is working for you. All Platforms The interaction between Watch Folders and Manage Music can cause duplicates to appear in the library when the Watch Folder is also the Manage Music folder. Users should refrain from setting the Watch Folder and the Manage Music folder to the same location to avoid this situation. ( bug 16641) The interaction between Manage Music and iTunes' Consolidate Library feature can cause "ghost tracks" to be imported into Songbird. Users should only use one application to manage their music library to avoid this problem.

This was an intermittent problem that did not affect all Songbird users on Windows. * Media deleted from iPod during Songbird update The bug that caused media to be deleted from iTunes-managed iPods during a Songbird update was fixed with an add-on update ( bug 15640). This Songbird update has an updated add-on block list to ensure that the buggy version of the add-on cannot be loaded by the application ( bug 15788). - KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES * Below are the high profile bugs/issues which are known to still be open for this release.

Simply select or right-click a track and choose "Get Album Artwork". You can also select your preferred source of artwork. By default, Songbird will retrieve album art from Last.fm but you can install from other sources such as amazon.com via an add-on. * MTP Device Support * We fixed many bugs affecting MTP devices on Windows. We've also added the ability to synch authorized Windows Media DRM'ed content to your MTP device. To see if your MTP device is supported, or to report your findings, visit our MTP Device Support page. * Watch Folders * You can choose to watch a folder hierarchy for changes and the content will auto-magically be imported in your library. If a file is removed from the watched folder, the corresponding track will be deleted from your Library. * Better Sorting * Library sorting supports unicode collation and better handling of leading definite and indefinite articles such as "The" and "a". * Replay Gain Support (Normalization) * If a track's metadata contains replay gain (including iTunes-specific) information, Songbird will adjust the playback gain appropriately. * Reduced Installer Packages * We've reduced the installer package size on Mac and Linux by about 45% on each of those platforms. * Improved Memory Usage/Performance * As part of our project to bring down memory usage in Songbird, we've re-tuned the database to be less greedy with your system's memory. On some memory starved systems, this should actually increase performance, but most users shouldn't notice any difference in searching, sorting, scrolling, filtering, or smart playlists. Users with very large libraries (>100,000 tracks) will see the biggest memory use improvements. If you do find things are more sluggish than you remember, please see Tuning Songbird Memory Usage and try adjusting the page cache size upwards. If you find any problems in these areas, please file a Bugzilla issue against Songbird. * 7digital MP3 Store Add-on (Beta) * We've partnered with 7digital to bring you the highest quality MP3s (320kbps). You can easily search, purchase, organize and get recommendations directly into Songbird. Just click on the 7digital Music Store node in your Songbird service pane. NOTE: The UK store is fully stocked, but the US and other European stores are still continuing to populate a complete catalog of music. Please file any bugs, issues or suggestions for the 7digital MP3 store specifically in our Bugzilla database. - KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES Below are the high profile bugs/issues which are known to still be open for this release.

The list of those supported per platform can be viewed via "Keyboard Shortcuts" selection in the Help menu. * We've refined the column heading property list and made it easier to enable the properties you care about. Just right click on any column heading in a library or playlist to give it a try. * "Show File" now available for any selected track via File menu or right click on track contextual menu. This provides an easy way to find the media file location on your filesystem. * Smart Playlists can now be used as rules within other Smart Playlists. * Ability to show/hide display panes via individual buttons for service pane, bottom and right sidebar display panes - Performance Improvements This release provides improved performance: * Faster Media Importing * Drastically Faster Search * Reduced Startup Times * Snappier Sorting * Efficient Scrolling of Large Libraries * Reduced Memory Usage (When importing and using large libraries) - Stability * Many miscellaneous top crashers were fixed for this release. -- Christoph Korn Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:56:12 +0100 songbird (0.7.0-0~getdeb1) intrepid; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Paulo Dias Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:16:38 +0000 songbird (0.7.0-1~padoka1) intrepid; urgency=low * Changed section to sound from audio. -- Paulo Dias Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:55:35 -0200 songbird (0.7.0-0~padoka1) intrepid; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Paulo Dias Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:24:55 +0000 songbird (0.7.0-0~getdeb1) intrepid; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:39:39 +0000 songbird (0.6.1-0~getdeb1) hardy; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:02:14 +0000 songbird (0.6-0~getdeb1) hardy; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:38:23 +0000 songbird (0.5-1~getdeb1) hardy; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Fri, 11 Apr 2008 10:01:58 +0000 songbird (0.4-1~getdeb1) gutsy; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Sun, 06 Jan 2008 10:37:39 +0000 songbird (0.3-1~getdeb1) gutsy; urgency=low * New upstream version -- Joao Pinto Sat, 03 Nov 2007 18:51:58 +0000
