request/questions

So I love songbird and there are some things that I would like it to make my time with songbird more enjoyable. I am no developer so here are my suggestions:

-When I imported my songs from itunes everything was WACK as in the names of the songs were switched. I found it a hassle to listen to each song and rename it, so I decided to reorganize my library, and uninstalled itunes for good. It works but I think there should be an easier way around this.

-When dragging and dropping, it would be great to be able to copy and paste instead of dragging every song onto it. (if thats possible please tell me and with other things.)

-When I click on a song (say from a folder), it won't let me use songbird to open it. Is that normal?

-Would the new sony walkman coming out sync with songbird?

-Does songbird sell stickers? :P

-The Delete button should be less reckless and give you a pop up asking if you really want to delete it. (and possible to turn off that pop up if you are carefull enough) as i find myself right clicking then hitting delete instead of rename.

-Copy and paste within songbird. Say you have a long playlist (thats me) and you would want to drag everything in the middle to the very bottom, I can only do that by dragging one at a time so It would be nice to CUT and paste to the lower end of my long playlist.

-A great addition would be to have the power of costantly dragging a song down the list. As in the previous one said, I have to drag a song down a very long list and when I hit the end of whats viewable, I have to leave it there and then re-select it and keep dragging it down.

-another great thing is to be able to change the .mp3 to .wma, lossless, ect.

-and finally, when I move songs around on the list to change the order, the wrong one moves when I clearly choose the right song. and the WRONG song sometimes gets placed where I don't want it to be placed.

thanks for reading.

Songbird has got some cool features, no doubt about it.

It even has global hotkeys, my absolute favourite feature from Winamp 5.x.

So my question/request is this - why doesn't fast forward/rewind have global hotkey assignments? It wasn't possible to assign them either!!

I un-installed Songbird immediately after realizing that there was crippled support for exactly these two features.

Hi, i have a few suggestions to share too.
is there any way to make songbird check if its the default app for runing music?
can a feature to check uncheck tipes of files asociated with songbird(mp3 wav etc)
an contextual menu for adding items to the playlist will be great.
suport for mtp players(such as creative zen) in mac osx

for sourcitrus
i assume you run songbird under mac osx, when you check the info to change the app you open with, there is an option showing recomended apps /all apps, check all apps and select songbird, do not do this with wav files because mac osx will check all wav to open with itunes(anyone knows hoy to stop or prevent this from happening?)
