    Yeah this is great- would also be a snazzy idea if it also ran an "I'm feeling lucky" Q. automatically with the Song, Artist and "lyrics".

    very good extension, only problem is that when reading a longer article about an artist, and a different song (by the same artist) comes on, the page will reload and I have to scroll back down to where I was...

    Is there anyway to change the location of the extension? Right now it’s always stuck on the bottom half of the page, which is agrivating when you you have a large library OR the wiki page is big.

    I think a more usable interaction would to have it be tabbed. Meaning the library is on the first tab and the second one contains the wikipage.

    Possible?

    Great extension to a great media player. I would love to be able to change from English Wikipedia to the language of my choice, Norwegian.

    Great looking extension. I collect a cappella music. 700 cds, approx. 10,000 songs. Over 90 percent of my artists would fail the Wiki notability test (I wrote the wiki people). I would like to create my own wiki using mywiki. I would love to have a way of choosing between the public wiki and mywiki. Otherwise this extension would be quite useless for me.

    Great extension, yes, but I would like to change the lang: I would like to adress fr.wikipedia.org instead of en.wikipedia.org, but i didn’t find where is the url.
    Oh please, just a little feature request ;-)

    If any of you guys use the Stylish extension, you might be interested in this user style I wrote to get rid of all the chrome and crap from wikipedia’s website so I can view the information easily in a small pane in Songbird.

    Please file bugs in our Bugzilla @ bugzilla.songbirdnest.com, put [wikipedia] in the description and assign it to me (stevel@songbirdnest.com).

    I’ll try to add the feature requests when I have time. And the first one I’ll add will be a preference for a language/localised wikipedia site instead of defaulting to en. :)

    Will this extension work in songbird .5 if we just change the version number in the extension file? Anyone know?

    Nevermind, I just needed to uninstall and re-download. For some reason the add-on updater didn’t work for this extension when I upgraded Songbird.

    Whilst the wikipedia bit of MashTape isn't working, it'd be awesome if this was made available to us on 1.1.2 :)

    Does anybody from Songbird actually read these comments?

    For me to use Songbird, I need this add-on. I need to input my own artist info, because almost all of my collection is indie artists that won't be found in the regular Wikipedia. I would use a Grease Monkey script to divert Wikipedia to my local Mediawiki.

    MashTape seemed encouraging until I saw santimo's comment above, saying the Wikipedia part doesn't work.

    Why offer an add-on if you don't keep updating it to work with the latest version of Songbird?

    It actually works fine with the newest version of songbird you just need to download the .xpi file extract the install.rdf and open it with a text editor and change "<em:maxversion>0.8.0pre</em:maxversion>" to
    <em:maxversion>1.1.2</em:maxversion>

    and then of course put it back in the .xpi file
