SoulFusion

Finally!
Thank you very much, this is the addon I waited for weeks! :D

works great on my Macbook Pro (early 2008)

JohnM

Awesome, thanks so much!

berror

Works great on my macbook.

Thank you so much!! Have been waiting very long for this plugin.

Only thing I need now is a working now playing list :P

xenetic

Since it's apparently possible to make use out of the media keys for people that have keyboards with them. Is it possible to re-route the keys to normal key combination like (cmd+left arrow, etc...)

I have a late 2006 model MBP, no media keys. I love songbird and even dropped itunes all together. But one thing I miss was being able to switch, pause/play songs from any application with hotkeys.

matt.foster

Stupid question im sure, but im having problems installing it? Can someone please help!!

matt.foster

I have figured it out haha. Easy-peasy. Really likeing Songbird! Such a great alternative for itunes

volcomstnboi

I just want to say....

THANK YOU!!!

This was the last thing keeping me from completely switching to Songbird on my Macbook.

This works perfectly on the MacBook4,1

florentv

Works fine. Great extension. :)

ocastelblanco

Great!!!! I use a MBP and works amazing. Very thank you.

pandronic

@xenetic: how do you remap the multimedia keys to a regular key combination?

arslock

can you make one for a logitech S 530 keyboard? it won't wooooooork :(

relientchevette

thanks I hated hitting the P/P button and having iTunes open

timashkov

thank you for the plugin! works perfectly

HardBit

It's great
Works perfectly in my mac mini

Manusnake

Great add-on, when do you expect to have 1.2.0a support? Because this version really improves library performances.

rubyji

Any chance of getting this to work with non-Apple brand keyboards? They're able to control iTunes, I just need a comparable command to give it for Songbird.

wishnight

thank you!

henrik

Thanks! Finally I have global hotkeys for songbird!

foomarks

Woohoo, yes! Carpal tunnel be gone, thanks so much!

dbrenner

uhh THANK YOU! this greatly helps my transition from iTunes

Manusnake

Any chance of updating it for 1.2? It's in beta now, so it should be doable :-)

Anirudh

THanks

Thanks for 1.2!

Lukich

How on Earth do you people make it work with MB Pro? Help me please, this is the last thing I need to be fully satisfied with Songbird. Thanks!

hachre

When I press a media key, like for example the play/pause one what happens is that:
1. Songbird stops playing the current file (as intended)
2. iTunes starts up (meh)

Any way to disable this?

I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 8.2.1...

hachre

hey nick,

as a workaround, i've renamed /Applications/iTunes.app to /Applications/iTunes_off.app and it doesn't launch anymore now...

I can live with that :)

Erikw

Is it possible to add this functionality: rewind song when back-key is pressed and skip forward when fowrad-key is pressed?

jfml

mh, sounds promising. but i still don't get how to remap to normal key-combinations like xenetic did(?) since i have a mbp with no mediakeys.

can anyone help?

chrisi1698

hey, this extension seems to be nice, but it's x86-only. could you please give me a quick how-to on compiling it (just what sources exactly i need to check out for dependencies, where i have to put your plugin's sources, which commands to issue to just build the extension). I use songbird 1.1.3 on PPC64, a contributed build from Thomas Legg (http://www.the-eleven.com/tlegg/).
Thanks very much in advance :-)

Nebula

Neat!!

Can you perhaps make something like this for the Razer Lycosa keyboard??

SongBird needs some sort of Itunes hotkey emulation for it to be supported by Lycosa.

kamaksh

The Plugin works very smoothly, but doesn't have one function that we can do with i tunes. With itunes, if you hold the Fwd and Rwd keys, you can forward or rewind the ngoing song, which doesn't happen with this add on on Songbird. But still, a great add on.

perslucht

I got iTunes disabled by doing this terminal-thing from this link.

Works fine so far!

ranec

VLC and other media players have a feature where holding down >> and << do 10s jumps in those relative directions, rather than changing tracks.
Can this get added to the Add-on?

coops

Outstanding - thanks.

Was stunned when i found that although the Macbook pro f8 etc could control VLC amongst others - could not believe iTunes forced itself open when used... I don't even use itunes.

Have uninstalled iTunes - good riddance. Can't believe any music player doesn't have a proper 'now playing' list - still odd it has to be 'added on' to Songbird, but at least it's there!

Thanks again

timashkov

the install button is grey. why could this be?

stevenarrow

kind of a silly request: the add-on doesn't work when there is no keyboard plugged in. I am trying to map the keys to my iPhone through Air Mouse app.

Anyone got a work-around or perhaps can the functions (play/ pause/ skip) be assigned to standard keys like space bar, etc...
