+1 for the recommendation for ProjectM inclusion. I'm OK with this being a plug-in. It would be extremely easy to implement and already works as a stand-alone app (if you are willing to compile the source....)

All that is missing is the implementation and integration with Songbird.

I think MusicBrainz is pretty great with their Picard music tagger app. If Picard could be embedded, that would be even cooler. Maybe an idea for a plug-in? I like having control of my tags, so any type of "auto-tagger", without consent before the write-to-disk, would not be something I would be interested in.

I like how, with Picard, the process is automatic but I have final approval and can fix things that are awry, which doesn't happen very often.

To the poster above, if you have concerts, rarities, etc., you can manually add them to the MB database. I've done this with more than a few discs. It's a community-driven project :)

The easiest answer was already mentioned above for Ubuntu and it's derivatives, including Kubuntu, etc. and Linux Mint.

http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=...

Also, for Linux Mint users, Songbird is included in the Community Repositories - Installable from the web: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/co... and updated accordingly.

As for packages, people vote with their installs. As Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint get bigger, so will demand for more (and more up-to-date) packages in .deb format.

Likewise with the .rpm-based solutions. I have no problem with any Linux distro (I like several) but my vote on what runs on my desktop and notebooks rests with what flavor is easiest to run and has the most software options available to it without compiling form source. As well as a robust community and active developers. For me, that's Linux Mint.
