SONGBIRD 0.7.0 README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
* New UI
The new UI includes significant visual and functional changes such as:
- A new dedicated tab that contains all of your media content
- Ability to show/hide the service pane when viewing webpages (it's
automatically hidden when viewing web content, but a button will allow you
to toggle show/hide)
- Ability to choose where the player controls live, the top or bottom of the
window, based on user preference (right click on the player control pane to
change its location or on some platforms View menu -> Player Controls).
- New look and feel for the Mini Player
* Faster Media Scan
Scanning for media on your local drive is significantly faster.
* First Run Wizard
The wizard will walk you through EULA, media scanning, and installing
recommended add-ons when launching the application for the first time. You'll
need to create a new profile to be presented with the wizard (since you will
not see it if upgrading).
* Drag & Drop
The drag and drop experience in the application has been greatly improved.
It now supports visual feedback to show you how many items you are dragging.
* Smart Playlists
We now have smart playlist support which not only allows you to create your
own customized playlists, but also provide defaults for:
- Highest Rated
- Most Played
- Recently Added
- Recently Played
* Album Art
Songbird can now read, write and display album artwork. There's a new Album
Art Display Pane in the bottom of the Service Pane that shows the artwork
associated with currently playing track. In the Metadata Editor, you can add,
remove, and paste artwork to a track - changes will be saved to the
file(s) you edit.
