directory browser

AWESOME !
Nice work Epskampie ;)
+600 downloads and no thanks from anyone !!!
Keep on good work :)

suggestion : it would be great to play audio just by double-click on the file ;)

Thanks ;) Another thing : iconURL :p

Thanks a lot!
I think, your add-on will be much better when sorting by name/date is available.
P.S. It is my first attempt to use Songbird. I like it. Since today I shall use it instead of my current music player. ;-)

Thanks for this Epskampie!
An addition that I think would improve the user experience in general is make it into a column view like in OS X. This layout makes great sense in the horizontal layout.
The first column can be all the directory’s you have added, then clicking once on a folder opens the folder on the right, and so on.
Integration with the ‘Now playing’ plugin would be great also with a ‘queue this’ button.

Hi,
great add-on. Thanks!
Being able to browse and play music outside of the library is a feature I use a lot, but haven’t yet seen well implemented in many Linux based browsers (I use Linux). MediaMonkey on Windows does this great. Have a look at it for some ideas.
For example, in MediaMonkey one can both browse the Library by Location, and also, browse and play medai in any folder on the disk.
Keep up the good work!

I think I found a bug. When I drag and drop a single or multiple audio files from the directroy browser into a playlist everything is fine, but if I drag and drop a directory contatining audio files, each audio file ends up with two entries in the playlist. Hope this helps.

love your work!

Ah, a handy tool.
Without this add-on, i had always a bunch of windows open to search for my music.
I just found a little bug:
adding a directory by the use of Tools>Add-on… doesn’t work. The directory is saved, but the content of the directory is not shown in the list.
When you then push “Manage directories” and than push Ok, the content is shown.
Hopefully this helps you to further develop this Add-on.

I have Songbird installed on C Drive, audio files on D drive.
directory browser doesn't seem to want to cooperate with my D drive (doesn't display any files at all).

ah, apologies, it wasn't accessing the different drive that was the problem, it was accessing a folder that starts with a # character ( D:\# MP3s\ )

nice add on. cheers.

Excellent addition to Songbird.
Works without a glitch. When I move a group of music files to the "Now Playing" area, it is included with the other files already there. Is there a way of just playing the ones I just selected?

it is impossible to install in songbird 0.7.0rc1 )-:

"directory browser 0.5.0 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Songbird 0.7.0rc1"

wow this add-on Rocks.. I have used most of Windows and Linux Players but this function makes everything very simple.. Thanks..

Hi Epskampie

I already installed the Directory Browser. But, it doesn't works. :-( It is really sad because I want this function, I hate libraries.

I have to say that at the beginning my Songbird 6.0 was in spanish. I uninstalled and now I have it in english, but is the same, when I choose Manage directories, the program freeze.

Some ideas? please, help!

It'd be cool if the tracks can be run directly from the directory browser pane (without having to create a playlist). Otherwise great add-on.

hey, this is a great idea but the install button is greyed out. i can't install. what's wrong?? please help!

sorry to double post- eskampie, are you planning on updating? thanks!

would be great if somebody update compatibility for 0.7, i hate playlists too..
TREE VIEW FTW!!!!

yes, update ! :-)

T_T
when I fond this Add... don't work in a new version...
that's a really nice plug-in!
i will bake soon

:D

"It'd be cool if the tracks can be run directly from the directory browser pane (without having to create a playlist). Otherwise great add-on."

That Would be the best!!!
this is the best add-on ever, libraries are hell...
 but no double click is a real anti climax :(

Wow !
I just discovered this add-on !
Amazing, Thanks :)

i cant really get this to do anything.
i click 'manage directories' and add a directory.
it is added to the list but then i cant do anything else and have to force quit songbird.

i really want this application, any help?

noooo!!!!

I noticed that is it impossible to re dimension the size of the directory windows /-:

@ anoceandude: in the last version of Songbird (win xp), all goes correctly

Library pane is more than enough without cluttering it up with unnecessary add-ons.

I love this addon! especially because i hate the library filter!
One thing i would like to see is actions when double click and middle click:
Example:
double click: create new playlist with files in it
middle click: add to current playlist.

That way songird would have the same features as foobar plus all the addons.

This plugin is essential for all people trying to come from foobar.

Thanks!!!
Songbird could be grate if you menage to make this plugin work like Media Monkey.
I relly hate playlist and winamp type of players in witch you have to import music in palylist.
