    Thats a good suggestion, the only problem is that if I migrate from a Windows environment into a Linux environment, the paths of the files in the playlist will be different from the paths of the files in Linux. So my suggestion is to match them merely through their "identity" (matching filename and/or matching ID-tag) instead of paths.
    Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point

    Migrating ratings from other players
    I have a huge collection of music which I have rated in my previous audio player. I know how to extract playlists (.pls, .m3u , ...) from that other player where all songs have the same rating.

    What I would like to do is to make Songbird read the playlist and match the ratings of the songs in its database with the ratings of the generated playlist file so that I don't have to re-rate every single file again.

    There is no rating information in the playlist file per se but since I know the ratings I just want to "Match 5-star rating with playlist file 1" and "Match 4-star rating with playlist file 2" and so on.

    Tools for monitoring the quality of the audio files being played
    One visualization plugin I use with WinAmp is Satan (Sexy Attached Analyzers - http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details...). What I like about it is that I can actually see the quality of the file since it gives an honest representation of the audio spectrum.

    It would also be nice to see additional info such as intermittent bitrate (on VBR files) and file format etc during playback.

    Perhaps some toolkits such as those found in EncSpot where you can analyze bitrate distributions on VBRs, long vs short frames, glitch detection, completeness, etc would be nice.
