  • Works with Songbird 1.0.0 - 1.2.0

I added the following:

  • Sorting by year is now possible
  • Every artist has a biography tab, where available.
  • In one-album mode, clicking on the album-cover now selects all tracks in that album, for easier dragging into playlists. (Thanks to Carmenm for the suggestion!)
  • In the display-pane version, if anyone is still using that, all tracks now have a rating bar.

Version: 0.5.2

  • Uploaded about 1 year ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.0.0 - 1.2.0

For this version I have:

Extended the width of the playlists, as requested by Carmenm

Fixed a bug that happened when you clicked on an artist that was in your library but not in your current view.

And finally, to make it worthwhile to click on album-titles, I added some album info from last.fm to pop up when you go in to one-album mode. Not all albums have last.fm info, but most well known albums do. (See screenshot). Enjoy!

Known Bug:
In the artist view, you can't play all songs by double-clicking them. That usually only works for the first track off the first album. So you can play all songs by an artist, but you have to start playing the first listed track. This is because songbird seems to get confused when there are multiple playlists and views on the same page. To go around this:

In the media view, every album title is a link.

Clicking on an album title brings you to that particular album and in that view the list works fine. To go back, click on the album-title again.

If anyone knows a better way to fix this, please let me know!

  • Uploaded about 1 year ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.0.0 - 1.2.0

Fixed a few things for the display-pane version:

  • Track highlighting should now work when shuffling
  • the "and more" is now a clickable link to see more of your artists!
  • Artists with apostrophes in their names now works, however, not if they have quotemarks :(
  • Display-pane title should no longer conflict with the music-recommendations-add on

The big new thing for this version is that I've added a media view option like alot of people requested. The media view is still very BETA though. It has a few bugs. The most annoying one being that in the artist view, you can't play all songs by double-clicking them. That usually only works for the first track off the first album. So you can play all songs by an artist, but you have to start playing the first listed track. This is because songbird seems to get confused when there are multiple playlists and views on the same page. To go around this:

in the media view, every album title is a link.

Clicking on an album title brings you to that particular album and in that view the list works fine. To go back, click on the album-title again.

For the playlists to look right in the media-view, you need to get the latest version of the Spotbird feather.
