I’m glad you’re using my feather.
This addon seems to work on 0.6 but not on 0.5 (no library added).

Blu Aardvark

This add-on does not play nice with the Divided Tag Cloud extension, for some reason. When both are installed, selecting the Divided Tag Cloud media view (in either Library or Magnatune) will display just a black box where the tag cloud should be.

I’m not sure which extension is to fault for this behavior.

Also, uninstalling or disabling the Magnatune extension does not remove the Magnatune library. Not that I’m complaining or anything, it’s just odd.

The Divided Tag Cloud extension is the one to fault. It doesn’t work if the library hasn’t been built yet.

No problems with .03

I’m using RC2 and it doesn’t seems to work anymore (no Magnatune library).

Ok, I think I’ve indentified the problem.
I’m using both 0.5 and 0.6.
When switching to 0.5, it doesn’t work anymore so the Magnatune library is removed.
So when switching to 0.6 it think it as already launched the “first launch script” so it doesn’t add the Magnatune library.
So I need to clean my profile in order to have it again.

Not compatible with 0.6.1
(but the Magnatune library is still there…)

This add-on is great!

Any plan to support those with streaming or downloading membership to Magnatune?

It would be perfect!

Can someone update this to work with Songbird 1.0 and the 1.1 beta?

Could someone make this compatible with Songbird 1.1.1

Why doesn't this work with 1.1.2?

hellocatfood

Still any chance of an update?

Magnatune offers streaming memberships (http://stream.magnatune.com/). This allows one both to pay the artists and to get rid of the commercials at the end of each tracks. Unfortunately, this add-on doesn't implement Magnatune subscriptions. It would be nice to have the option to use the subscription from inside Songbird.

I could easily edit the extension to add this ability. Inside the zipped xpi, the file chrome/content/main.js:
Line 6, change:
var magnatuneURL = "http://magnatune.com/info/song_info2_xml.gz";
to:
var magnatuneURL = "http://stream.magnatune.com/info/song_info2_xml.gz";

Line 198, change:
url = url.replace(/\.mp3$/, ".ogg");
to:
url = url.replace(/\.mp3$/, "_nospeech.ogg");

Just after this line, create a new line with the following content:
url = url.replace(/^http:\/\/he3.magnatune.com\//, "http://stream.magnatune.com/");

And that's it. However, it seems to be required to open http://stream.magnatune.com/ in a tab and connect there before being able to use re-sync and listen to the stream files. Additionally, I don't know how to add an option to be able to choose from the subscribed section from the extension's options.

Additionally, I find a few features lacking:
- one cannot use the track slider. I don't really understand that, as the total time is available. It looks like the file is not downloaded whole but is only partially cached. Another drawback is that after a pause, continuing to read will fail after the end of the cached portion.
- the lack of an organizer (as in the library to select genre, artists and albums) makes it difficult to use the very huge library.

The combination of Songbird, Magnatune and this extension has a great potential which is currently underused.

But you can only buy music from Magnatune? That's too bad...
