Can't close the settings dialog by pressing the ok button. Im am using SB 0.2.5 and Win MCE 2002 SP2

Absolutely fantastic plugin. Simple, yet something that should be built into Songbird as it is. Really easy to change options as well. Great work!

hxcobd

Oh, your description is kind of vague though. For those thinking about downloading, this plugin allows you to change the program title to the current song being played, and even make the track information scroll scross the minimized taskbar window. Extremely useful.

I really like the add-on. However, a lot of Unicode characters won't work, I can enter them into the input field for the string, but they will appear only as blocks or something totally different in the title bar (I don't know whose fault that this -- maybe JS's?). Perhaps you could enable HTML-style abbreviations. In particular, I'd like —es ("—"). @hxcobd: scrolling is annoying and for me it's not a feature to always be distracted from the rest I'm doing — I wonder why that found its way into Songbird's miniplayer.

Great extension, but on 0.2.5 on Vista (don't know about any other os), when Birdtitle is enabled, the 'back' button in the browser stops working, I would assume forward does as well, but since I couldn't go back, I couldn't test it. The other navigation buttons work fine.

TheOneRing

Wooooo the new notify function is nice I already uninstalled all other notify ad dons ^^

TheOneRing

If the track notification once is enabled there is no way to disable it please fix it thanks.

Superkoop

Hey I just wanted to say that I REALLY like this add-on! Great job! ^:-D

TheOneRing

Hi I prefer your song notifier to the one of the album art ad don by stevo, more preferences etc. but there is no album art in the notifier, so maybe you can work together wit stevo and ad a support for his album art ad-on. It would be great. Thanks for reflecting on my suggestion. ;-)

Can you make this compatible with Sonbird 0.6?? It’s a great addon, and that’s why I want to use it on 0.6, too…

weeman5872

when I switch to the mini player, the taskbar goes back to the default song bird 0.6.1

Is that a bug, or just not a feature yet?

dokueki

This is a WONDERFUL extension. Has everything I need. I basically use it for the notifier, which is PERFECT. All I'm asking for is a checkbox to let you close the notification if you click anywhere on it. It still does everything I want it to, 10/5!

SnoringFrog

If you could add in a way to change the text colors of the notifications it would be amazing. But right now I can't read it because of the feather I'm using. Black text on a black bg just doesn't work.

TheRedBurn

Should be included by default in Songbird.

great extension

I think this plug causes my 'bird to crash. No problems since Uninstalling... :D
Wish it didn't, cause I like scrolling the title, WinAmp style....

LauraSeabrook

This is a really nice add-on, but it would be a lot more useful to me if you had a tag called $menu$ which indicated the position of where the menus should go (if at all) on the bar. I want to put something like this...

SONGBIRD File Edit Controls Tools Help               ARTIST - SONG

...in the top menu bar. Otherwise at the moment the menu options slide to the right after everything else, which is annoying when the title on the right changes its width.

atreiu

I named my Songbird "Goldfish", according to the new program-icon :-D

danielma

Excelent Plugin! I love the song notifier! Finally one notifier that works!

grampybone

$year$ tag please!

etom21

Suggestion.... Make the text for the pop up customizable. Right now it is black on very dark gray and i cant read it.

hwliang

$rating$ tag please!

TheDeathAgent

I agree with SnoringFrog. I'm using the YABS feather and you can't read the text because it's black on black. Fix please!

atreiu

Oh dear! I just figured out, that this add-on has Track-Notifications! =) I didn't take a look at this Add-on before, because I didn't need the title-changing-thingy, but your Notification rocks! It's the best notification-system for Songbird right now, better then the other Add-ons for this.
Thank you very much! PS: The title-changing-thingy is more useful than I thought, too ;-)

To the ones with YABS-Problems: I will skin the Notification soon. Then it will look a little bit better with YABS.

amrhassan

nice work. how about a "skip" or a "next" button in the song-change notification?

tstevens

Hi - Would be great if the notifier window could be popped up on-demand using a global hotkey (ie not just on status changes but if eg mid-song I want to see the track info w/o switching to the SB app). This is a function I use all the time in winamp with the Toaster plugin. Toaster is, strangely, one of the main reasons I have not yet abandoned winamp in favor of SB.

Also, custom color settings and slightly more advanced layout options of the notifiy window would be a big plus, eg, font size, color, etc.

qayws

Thanks for the scrolling titles ! :)

I would like to know if there are settings/or chances to put the title of the active TAB of the browser, as the taskbar title?

deOmega

Just discovered this addon. Amazing features.

The name sure was misleading all this time.

@compugeek32,

Stevo at Songbird has been looking for some help on his addons, and the staff is looking for helpers. Thing is, you have a 'notify me' function in this addon that could take the place of one of his.
Could you please post here http://blog.songbirdnest.com/2009/03/03/adopt-a-stevo-add-on/
 to show that you would tackle it one way or the other? I am sure you may not have a lot of time either, but your addon encompasses his.

Thanks!!

Schaapie

I would like an tag that shows how much time a song has left till the end. Something like $timeleft$. Hope you can do this for me and the others who would like this.

BTW: Great mod i love it.

Aldri

I got a nasty bug with the version 0.4.1 and songbird 1.1.1 under windows seven, it puts songbird in mute, i have to go to the sound parameters of windows seven to demute songbird, and it happens randomly but often (something like every 30s to 2min max)
I had to disable it... no idea why it does that, previous versions were fine

cwilliams

Thank you for this addon compugeek32. This takes what should be built in functionality and makes it very customizable. It is a must extension have for me!

ilaggoodly

Very much support this Add-on.

Would like to see a mappable hotkey that copies the playing info to the clipboard so you can let other peeps know what you are up to :)

jomaweb

great add on!!!

it would be nice to modify the appearance of notification as we do with SB feathers. I use AeroBird and is quite different as the notification window

Vass

Really like this Add-on, thanks a lot.
But there's one thing bugging me, when no song is playing, the titlebar button just shows a " - ", which isn't too sexy, like this:
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8595/04162009173450.jpg
Could it be made so that if nothing is playing it would just say "Songbird" or something instead?
Thanks again )

KotW

$tracknumber$ or however you like it ($number$ or $track$?) would be a great addition, perhaps alongside $year$!

Saebekassebil

I love your notification system!
But one really important, and not that hard to implement feature: $rating$
And please don't use the unicode characters, but rather the feathers default star-class.

Saebekassebil

There's a simple workaround to everyone who dont like the " - " title.

Locate your addon install folder. Mine were:
C:\Users\Jakob\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2\Profiles\0kweaajs.default\extensions\birdtitle@hectoravila.com\chrome\content

Now open the file "birdtitle.js" in your favorite editor, and take a looke at line 90. It should look something like:
var thetext2=(((((((((thetext.rep...

Now AFTER that line insert this code:
if(thetext2 == "" || thetext2 == " - ") thetext2 = "Songbird";

Now restart Songbird, and it should work ;)

somebird

Great add on, but there's a small bug:
The $genre$ tag doesn't work in the notifier - it always appears blank.

kanejo

Good add on but ever since songbird 1.2 I have had an issue..I want the just the track time and total time to be displayed in the taskbar but it seems to be changing from what i set it at and the normal scrolling of the track name and artist constantly.

kanejo

found the problem...there seems to be a conflict with the minimise to tray addon...
cheers..

kanejo

Hi just thought I would leave a comment to suggest that extra tags be put in birdtitle...I would like to see 'track number' and maybe the 'year' would good to. Thanks

klint

Hi
Could a new option be added: display the notifier only when Songbird is minimized. When Songbird is open, it is kind of redundant with what you can read :) ?
Thanks a lot

shawnx

Great addon, couldn't use songbird without it!

I have one request, please add $rating$ to the notifier. If possible also the ability to rate tracks from the notifier.

uzuuru

I think I have found a bug:
When $status$ is used in the title, on PAUSED nothing is used instead the tag.
The problem is here: commons.js ->
getTrackStatus: function(){
var cp_playing=birdtitle_2.cp_playing;
var cp_paused=birdtitle_2.cp_paused;
if(cp_playing.stringValue=="1"&&cp_paused.stringValue=="0"&&birdtitle.config.dispPlayStat){
return birdtitle.config.playingText;
}else if(cp_playing.stringValue=="1"&&cp_paused.stringValue=="1"&&birdtitle.config.dispPausedStat){
return birdtitle.config.pausedText;
}else if(cp_playing.stringValue=="0"&&cp_paused.stringValue=="0"&&birdtitle.config.dispStoppedStat){
return birdtitle.config.stoppedText;
}else{
return "";
}
}

in the second if, cp_playing and cp_paused cannot both be 1.
Solution: change the check value for cp_playing in that if to 0.

Marko

Great add-on!

Feature request:
Ability to display time (hh:mm) in titlebar
