It's a shame and slightly surprising it's not on your roadmap, as not implementing it seems to go against the idea of your service being an online music aggegator.
For example, I have statistics for itunes and last.fm that for whatever reason haven't been incorporated into my music history "cloud". Also Twones logs my Youtube plays, which is fantastic for some of the music I listen through Youtube, but obviously doesn't log onto last.fm.
If Twones could import stats from services like last.fm, iLike, iTunes and whatever players the users use, I feel this could be a serious competitor with all the other services, as it would mean people would not need to completely stop using their current music service if they have one. Meaning a person would not have to use a completely new service and give up on any statistic built up in another service, or have to run their old social music service side by side.
Surely this would open up Twones to a wider audience?-

gwatts88 shared an idea in Songbird on September 11, 2009 21:56:
Add support for radio from web pages (in particular, not disconnecting from the page/station when using Songbird as a browser and using the mini player)I would like to use Songbird as my all-in-one for anything music-related. So far I have had much success; using it as a podcast receiver, ipod manager and obviously a music organizer and player.
Also I use the browser function to play BBC Radio 1 using Songbird. I'm perfectly happy enough having a bookmark to the page and leaving it playing in the background (even though technically I'm using the browser function of Songbird rather than the music-playing function of it). However when I change this to the mini-player, the radio stops. I'm guessing that the pages are gotten rid of to save memory, then reloaded when switched back to the main player?
Anyway, I'd like to keep Songbird in the mini player without it disconnecting from web pages playing back streaming radio. Also, would it be possible to have the window title in the place of the song title in the mini player, if the last tab left open before switching to mini mode wasn't the media library? Would just make it look tidier so I know what I'm still listening to.
Anyway, keep up the great work :) -

atreiu's reply to "Can i get rid of the filter panes of media flow view and still keep both the list and album covers?" was just promoted to the most useful! gwatts88 and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.
I did a little research for you and found the solution:
Right click in the MediaFlow-Area > Settings > Hide Filter Panes.
Didn't know about this feature before, so I learned something, too ;) -
gwatts88 reported a problem in Songbird on September 08, 2009 13:15:
Songbird is skipping tracks or parts of tracks during playbackLately, when I play just about any song in Songbird it does any and/or all of the following: skips the last few seconds of the song, skips to the track after the one that is meant to be played in an album or playlist, and skips a song after the first 3 seconds of playing it.
It is becoming a real nuisance as they always happen after a track change, so I can't enjoy the entire album and have to keep going back to put it on the right track. At first I thought maybe something was wrong in the encoding of the songs, but when I double click it they play back flawlessly!!
I use a variety of formats with Songbird, but usually FLAC, MP3 and MP4. Hope you can help!
