Has anyone used Songbird in Arch? I recently tried it again (I tried an earlier beta that I wasn't impressed with) and it is VERY much improved. I am using it on Mepis and Windows Vista and so far it has done everything I want. Just trying to find out other people's experience and how it is on Arch?

I like it... I use it on my laptop for DJ'ing. Very handy for finding any song by any keyword very quickly
(`find /media/DJMUSIC/ -iname \*keyword\* -print` just doesn't cut it these days )

I looked at moving songbird to the [community] repo but it appears there may be licence/trademark issues that are still not sorted out so I have held off. You will have to use the AUR version at the moment.

there's no tabbed playlist, but it's very nice.
may be it can someday finally substitute for me foobar2k which i really miss on linux.

This is probably a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway... it almost certainly shows my ignorance of AUR, etc.
If I already have all of the prerequisites listed on the AUR page for Songbird installed on a system, is there any real advantage to using the package from AUR as opposed to just installing the Linux download from the Songbird site?
Thanks in advance.

It's nice, might be changing to it from MPD+Sonata for while.

I highly doubt it... Just look at how foobar2k handles tags and how songbird does it... Its totally limited in its usage...

MPD is gonna get a freeform-tag system, that should allow it to use tags like you can do it in foobar2k. Queing is planned too and some more neat stuff...
You can help to advance mpd by testing it, submitting bug reports and (if you are able to) write patches

Thanks, SamC. Installed it from AUR, using the above-provided link... pretty slick. Currently listening to "Elf's Lament" by the Barenaked Ladies...

I haven't noticed the difference may be because of the way I use player
But I think it may be easily changed with plugins.
