In Songbird, on the LiveTweeter plugin, make sure Clear on pause is checked.

I’ve got the same problem as Jaimy

Songbird displays the current song perfectly in Pidgin. However, if I pause or stop a song, or turn Songbird off, the title of the song remains, it don’t disappear. Can someone help me with this?In MusicTracker, there is nothing at “Status Format->Paused” or “Status Format->Stopped/Off”.

Didn’t work for me… Ubuntu 64 bits.

The songbird part at least… the workaround = under songbird, uninstall livetweeter add-on, install the MPRIS add-on, and in the pidgin extension put “Auto-Detect” … I think pidgin believes I’m listening in xmms or something like that. Magically, it works.

I’m not sure what your issues is, but I do have the latest versions of Pidgin and each plugin.

Hey,

I have the same issue as Gian has. Could this be happening because I use Pidgin 2.5.5? Should I upgrade it?
Thanks

You would configure that in the MusicTracker plugin. In Pidgin, open up the plugin configuration and, under the "Status Format" heading, in the "Playing" dialog, enter the following: %t by %p I have mine set to display: %r: %t by %p on %a (%d)

%r - Player
%t - Title
%p - Artist
%a - Album
%d - Track Duration

I have a problem. It does display what I’m listening, but it displays it like this

Author, by Song (it should be the other way around!)

I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to find an answer the this very same problem! I have found a solution (though I haven't tested it) in The Java iTunes to Songbird Metadata Importer for Linux. Using this program, you should be able to import your Windows iTunes database into your Linux Songbird database. Thanks for the mention of the new site design. It's a heavily modified version of the Brightness theme (I'd provide a link, but the author's site is no longer online).

First of all love the new layout!

Also, I love songbird! It’s so customizeable! And I love the lyricmaster plugin!

I have a couple problems with it though A minor one is that some plugins are really slow or buggy =/ But the biggest problem I have with it is I can’t transfer my Windows iTunes ratings to Sonbird in Ubuntu. I’m pretty sure the iTunes importer feature only works for Windows iTunes to Windows Sonbird. Hopefully they add this functionality soon, then I’ll be a step closer to moving to completely moving to linux!
