@Fr-zeb59 Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation the last week. I've added the XPI to the SVN for easier testing. You can get it from https://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/jlt157-com...
I'll add a version number with the next commit. – crisp, on June 30, 2009 08:24

A comment on the idea "Songbird update their browser?" in Songbird:

I dont' have the time to instruct you here, but maybe https://developer.mozilla.org/En/User... could help you. I _think_ you generally need to extend the ..extra.songbird string with a default mozilla/firefox one. Maybe do some try'n'error testing :) – crisp, on June 17, 2009 06:44

A comment on the idea "Last.fm-like multiple tag system" in Songbird:

Hi Carlos, for now I do this by pre-filtering the genre tag with songbirds intelligent playlists (e.g. filter by Rock). Then I use the extension to specify wich sub-genre I want (e.g. 'Post' to get 'Post Rock' & 'Post Punk'). What also can be done is to set the filtering to match only substrings. So if you filter by 'Rock' all tags like 'Classic Rock', 'Post Rock' will be matched. Generally you may use any simple regular expression. The only problem is building a simple interface for this type of filtering (so there is only exact-match or substring-match for now). – crisp, on June 17, 2009 06:02

Murphy, yep it will be both, some media views (currently a cloud as shown in the screener above) and a tree (useful if you have a lot of tags). The tagger is actually a pane wich (when finished) can be shown in any SB pane. These components should be the basic stuff to build upon if they show to be usable and useful. Technically the tags should be readable from any extension. – crisp, on June 17, 2009 05:56

Hi technomensch, that's exactly what i'm working at. If you look at the screenshot (http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2965...) you can see three buttons between the tag boxes in the right pane. The top box contains local tags, the bottom one contains remote (last.fm) tags for the track. The arrow-buttons are for syncing these tags (currently manual only). – crisp, on June 05, 2009 09:46

@schmidt & Fr-zeb59:
There's currently the SVN version only. Basic things (like tagging, the cloud & last.fm) are working but it's still not time for a beta release.
Currently I have no time to set up a detailed project page, maybe when the beta version becomes ready.

Hi there, I just stumbled over the discussion here. Maybe I have something to contribute :).
I'm currently working on a simple tagging solution. As already mentationed here it's based on comma seperated values stored in tag comments. I started this as an education project for me a while ago stopped the work on it and finally picked it up again.
The project started as a modification of the "divided tag cloud" extension. For now it's far from complete (I wouldn't even call it in alpha stage).
Currently the tagging (add/remove tags for current playing track) and the filtering with the tag cloud (include/exclude tags) is working.
This is what it's looking right now:
