In Progress

• Device Support

  Songbird's device support is limited. The Device Support wiki has additional details about what's supported. Apple iPhones, iPod Touch and Microsoft Zune devices are not yet supported.

• Metadata Management

  Songbird supports reading from and writing metadata to many music file formats. We still need to support the ability to fetch additional metadata from popular lookup services.

• Album Artwork

  Display the currently playing track's album art and write new artwork back to the file. We still need to support album art fetching.

• Subscriptions

  Subscribe to music blogs and download music directly to your library. We're working on ways to improve this feature.

• Performance & Stability

  Improving the performance and stability of Songbird is an ongoing focus. Each release we set aside dedicated cycles to ensure we're making progress.

• Improved Playback

  GStreamer will soon be the default media core on all platforms. This will improve existing playback features and enable additional functionality, such as gapless playback.
