This is a notification system for track changes.
Description
Notification system for the track changes.
1. On OS X it will use Growl if installed.
2. On Windows it will use Snarl if installed (Thanks to SongSnarl)
3. On Linux using libnotify
On Windows and Linux if the required systems are not installed then it will default back to the alertService, which does not look very good right now but will be improved soon.
Work to be done:
1. Improve windows support of SNARL (add registration etc).
2. Improve default alert window if SNARL/libnotify are not installed.
3. Make it so that when the alert is clicked it brings Songbird and the track into focus.
Release Notes
Added the libnotify service to linux builds.
Updated the notification so it does not fire when track changes but Songbird is paused.
Windows, OSX, Linux (32 and 64bit) builds.

Tried it on windows, perfect for my needs, but doesnt seem to be working with snarl... Any special method to get this going?
Same problem here. Only the ugly default alert window is showing up, no snarl. Do I have to install/prepare something beside your add-on and the current snarl program?
@therealmorris, atreiu I only installed Snarl to get this to work, do you have any messages in the error console?
Yep:
Error: notifyMeService: [ERROR] - Failed to load Snarl Service: TypeError: Cc['@tlhan-ghun.de/snarlInterface;4'] is undefined

Don't know if this helps you: if i install SongSnarl Add-on, your add-on works too. Of course i then got 2 snarl-messages, which kind of make this workaround useless. But perhaps it helps finding the problem...
Same error message for me, and that "workaround" does work too
Still no snarl for me, and now not even the alert-toasters appear. It just does nothing. No error-message, either. :-/
I have to stick with SongSnarl, even when i like your add-on better, with album-art and ratings etc...
Please get this to work with snarl.
Like me... still don't work with Snarl
It stopped working when I updated today! Anyone having the same problem, or is it just me?
@stevo: just contact me about the Snarl integration - will be happy to help you :)

Having growl notifications (and other notifications for other systems) would be great. I've read the bug report and subsequent discussion on bugzilla, using the relevant mozilla library for this sounds great. Now it needs to be done.
Will this add-on be updated, or is it dropped in favor of (a future) core implementation?
The behavior is a bit odd when streaming tracks from a site like Hype Machine. It shows 0:00 as the track length.
Great extension. I hope it gets into Core at some point.
The track length is a bit strange because when starting a song it says 0:00 / 3:35 for instance, which gives you the song length and the information that you're at the start of the song, but is flawed usability-wise because the time doesn't change in the few seconds that the notification is shown (does not go from 0:00, 0:04 or 0:05, but stays at 0:00 even though the song is playing). If it were not for the notification at the end of a song, I would advise to remove the current time altogether.
