Upcoming releases by artists in your library.


New Releases



Description

We hate missing new releases by our favorite artists so we built the New Releases Add-On.

New Releases looks at all the artists in your library and notifies you when they are about to release a new album. If no one in your library is about to issue a new release, see all new music being released in the next four months.

A New Releases view in Songbird displays upcoming albums, singles and compilation sortable by date or in alphabetical order.

Major thanks to zk7 and his work on the Releases add-on which is the basis for this work. Data is provided by MusicBrainz.

Why there are shown more Releases in UK than worldwide?

@Caelte - the list of countries are directly taken from the MusicBrainz service and it has a "Worldwide" category that's treated just like any other country. When viewing worldwide releases, only ones tagged as "Worldwide" are shown as opposed to the "All results" option which actually shows everything. You're not the first person to comment on this so we might need to update this behavior. Thanks!

I like the idea of this add-on!
However, I am not able to start Songbird any more with this add-on installed. I use Songbird 1.42 in German and Win Vista.

@martin_bighomer - Oh no! Unfortunately there's a bug (19337) that's causing the behavior you're seeing. This should be fixed very soon and if you want to keep up to date with the progress, add yourself to the bug report. Thanks!

I found an error that Songbird displays when I ran it from the console:


ERROR! Could not call boundObserver.observe(). Key = metadata.artist
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [sbIDatabaseQuery.execute]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///home/felipe/.songbird2/nuahy90f.default/extensions/newreleases@songbirdnest.com/components/newReleases.js :: getTourStatus :: line 1072" data: no]

I think is related to your add-on since it shows the newReleases.js in the error. But this error is not affecting the behaivor of the add-on, apparently is working fine for me.

Sad: not working
Artist: Tocotronic
Album: Schall und Wahn
Location: Germany
Release Date: 22.01.2010

it was never shown in your add on...
almost missed it!

How is it working anyway? is it only checking for the actual day?
Im not online everyday?

And I would suggest that it also should show releases from the last month, but january now is not available any more... ?
