Using Rhapsody Plugin In Songbird (Linux)

Submitted by boll0107 on Tue, 10/30/2007 - 6:00pm.

I had the rhapsody plugin installed for firefox when I downloaded and launched songbird 0.3.My plugins list on songbird (about:plugins) shows that it is installed, but when I go to Rhapsody.com and try to play media the login window opens saying "*blah*blah*blah* unsupported browser *da*da*da*...". Is there an about:config entry I can change to get songbird to sign in to rhapsody.com or is there another way to use the Rhapsody service through songbird?

Hmmm, I don't know exactly.

We signal our user-agent to be Mozilla compatible, but we don't say we're Firefox.

You could look at the Rhapsody site scripting, figure out what they want in the user-agent, and then add to the about:config

general.useragent.extra.rhapsody

with whatever value they want (you can start with "Firefox" and see if that works blind).
