A comment on the question "GPL and VoddlerPlayer.exe" in Voddler:

Will there be an official statement a little more specific than this? It sure took you long enough just to reply with two sentences, if any respect of mine is going to be reinvested in Voddler, atleast do the effort of composing an official explanation and excuse. – notwist, on December 22, 2009 10:28

Logged in just to show my support for this issue, this is a complete scandal.

removing libvisual-0.4-plugins also solved the problem for me.

Support for sending SMS updates to users in Sweden

It makes me really sad that Sweden doesn't have the ability to recieve SMS updates from twitter. SMS is used widely in Sweden, and if twitter implemented the ability to also send SMS updates to people, I think twitter could have a serious breakthrough in this country (the vast majority of people are still not used to SMS being free at all).

Please, cut a deal with an operator in Sweden and enable this feature for us as well, it would be awesome and would most likely benefit you greatly in terms of an increased number of users!

+46 is the country number for Sweden, you could try sending it "normally" by removing the country code and adding a zero:

0737 494 222

"Now playing" information in MSN / Live messenger

I have this feature in foobar2000 and I think it's a huge disadvantage when using Songbird :( LiveTweeter doesn't install because it's too old and I haven't found any other makeshift way to make it work.

This sould really be an out-of-the-box compability in Songbird!

Empty folders left behind after organizing, how to delete?

Before I organized my music with Songbird my albums were in separate folders, now these empty folders (empty with mp3:s that is, some have cover art and other stuff left) are littering my mp3-folder. How do I delete them? Is there any way to sort by smallest folders and just delete all the small ones (i.e. the ones that does not contain mp3s)

Improve the design of the HTTP sharing page

Let's take an example, let me share this song with you all:

http://open.spotify.com/track/6Jl3uM2...

On the page that opens I am greeted with the spotify logo and an arbitrary link. Several things here could be done better, in my opinion:

- The design should conform more to the spotify design, that is; black background, white text, maybe some green.

- Why show only the spotify logo? Why not also show the album cover art as a centerpiece and show the artist / song that the link actually points to?

Please note that this would also make the new facebook sharing function a lot better, as you could then include cover art in your sharing and not just a big spotify logo with no information on what song you are actually sharing.
