I don't want Songbird to duplicate iTunes library
Hello,
I started interesting in Songbird when very slow track change in itunes drove me nuts :)
I find Songbird very nice, but I have one question - is it possible to use itunes library, playlists etc without copying contents of itunes library into Songbird library folder? Why do I have to have my music duplicated on my hard drive in itunes and songbird folders separately? Why cant Songbird use music files from itunes library?
It would be best when Songbird exported only paths to itunes music files, not copy them into its folder.
I use Mac with Snow Leopard
Love to hear answer soon :)

Inappropriate?Hi Michal,
Sounds like you turned on Managed Mode, just turn it off from the Options menu, delete the music that Songbird copied over, and then wipe your library, and reimport your iTunes library.

Inappropriate?I am having similar issues but it is not only creating duplicates in singbird but also in the directories, anyone have the same issue?
I’m undecided
