- NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
* On Demand Fetching of Album Artwork
* Songbird can now fetch album artwork from the web at your command.
Simply select or right-click a track and choose "Get Album Artwork".
You can also select your preferred source of artwork. By default,
Songbird will retrieve album art from Last.fm but you can install
from other sources such as amazon.com via an add-on.
* MTP Device Support
* We fixed many bugs affecting MTP devices on Windows. We've also added
the ability to synch authorized Windows Media DRM'ed content to your
MTP device. To see if your MTP device is supported, or to report your
findings, visit our MTP Device Support page.
* Watch Folders
* You can choose to watch a folder hierarchy for changes and the
content will auto-magically be imported in your library. If a file is
removed from the watched folder, the corresponding track will be
deleted from your Library.
* Better Sorting
* Library sorting supports unicode collation and better handling of
leading definite and indefinite articles such as "The" and "a".
* Replay Gain Support (Normalization)
* If a track's metadata contains replay gain (including
gain appropriately.
* Reduced Installer Packages
* We've reduced the installer package size on Mac and Linux by about
45% on each of those platforms.
* Improved Memory Usage/Performance
* As part of our project to bring down memory usage in Songbird, we've
re-tuned the database to be less greedy with your system's memory.
On some memory starved systems, this should actually increase
searching, sorting, scrolling, filtering, or smart playlists.
Users with very large libraries (>100,000 tracks) will see the
biggest memory use improvements. If you do find things are more
sluggish than you remember, please see Tuning Songbird Memory
Usage and try adjusting the page cache size upwards. If you find
any problems in these areas, please file a Bugzilla issue
against Songbird.
* 7digital MP3 Store Add-on (Beta)
* We've partnered with 7digital to bring you the highest quality MP3s
(320kbps). You can easily search, purchase, organize and get
Music Store node in your Songbird service pane. NOTE: The UK store is
fully stocked, but the US and other European stores are still
continuing to populate a complete catalog of music. Please file any
bugs, issues or suggestions for the 7digital MP3 store specifically
in our Bugzilla database.
