Hey, can anybody help? I have songbird which is great (even better than it used to be) and I have a LOT of songs in the .mp4 format, problem is that songbird won't see them at all!
I've tried everything but songbird won't seem them at all, I have the quicktime extension and the windows media extension.
Winamp sees them and plays them no problem, but I prefer songbird!

Someone mentioned Nightingale as unofficial open source for of Songbird that's in constant development after Songbird stopped supporting Linux. This may be worth a look at as it's basically the same product under a different name. Also check Linux Mint, you may enjoy it more than Ubuntu, though it's just my personal opinion. ^_^

@kad3t linux mint is ubuntu,i turned it into ubuntu once out of boredom,while i played around with it i customized it soo much i should prob make my own distro lol,since linux is missing so much for the average user and i had to work on so many details just so it would feel complete
sucks to hear this cause songbird was the only cool player on linux,its really slow tough,i got 70gb of music,i couldnt use songbird with it all,they should have came up with a better name,i mean Nighting gale lol

As in unofficial port of sorts? It is open source after all, isn't it? Anyway, thanks for letting me know!

Right... First of there's few ways it can be done... Let's start with the easiest one which would be downloading and installing Ubuntu Tweak and using it's built in mechanism to pull Songbird to your machine. UT is in vanilla Ubuntu repos. The other way is to go to getdeb . net and install it from there. It's pretty simple, if you follow the guide on a site it's just adding their repo and pressing install from within your browser. Sorry for not being clear enough!

Great video, and a great program.
I've been using it for the last few days and I'm very impressed with it, I really like it.
About the only thing I could find to complain about it is that it doesnt seem to integrate with compiz properly (i.e no wobbly effects etc) and also doesnt have any taskbar integration like some of the other Linux apps...but hey, those are fairly small things and who knows what the future holds :)
The program itself works very nice ^^

I'm glad you liked both, video & the Songbird!
As for compiz I'll look it up soon since I have vague memories of it working in the past, however I got to be honest with you that I didn't even noticed that it wasn't wobbly. ^__^

It doesn't integrate with Kwin either.

But does it work? If it does I suppose that's the most important thing about it, isn't it? Especially that if you go into the mini mode to do some other stuff whilst listening to music you wouldn't see no wobbly windows or any effect anyway.
kad3t 1 year ago
No, it doesn't. Creating my own custom playlist was ridiculously painful and it wont get album artwork for some reason. The current version of Amarok is much better.

Well, I suppose it works great for some and not at all for others. I hope the next version's going to work for you if you ever decide to give it another shot.

I've been looking for an iPod touch replacement with basically the same functionality, but I don't know of any that syncs with linux. Any help would be much appreciated.
mrmagoo662 2 years ago
I suppose most modern mp3 players sync with Songbird easily. I know my sisters iPod 3rd Gen does & my (sic!) Zune also tough I wouldn't recommend Zune. ^__^

LOL! I know the feeling... My cousin dropped on me a script file for Wine he got of somewhere and I was planning to make a video about it as according to him it eases the user with certain Wine related tasks but I didn't get time to even look at it yet. ^__^
kad3t 2 years ago
I belived that you of all people would know about it, Tim. ^__^ I mean, I was judging by the amount of entries in your Gnome menu on your videos... Heh, never judge the book by it's cover, eh? Anyway, I'm glad you liked it, it is a great piece of software that definately deserves more attention than it gets. ^__^
