Hey mkimsey,

It sounds like you accidentally turned the Managed Mode on. If you turn it off, then import your iTunes library, you should be good to go.

Hey Rémi,

Launch the Profile Manager to create a new bird. There's a shortcut to it in the Windows Start Menu, if you're running Windows.

Hey lufewert,

You can read the Tuning Songbird Memory Usage wiki page for instructions. But be careful with these settings as they can also give you unwanted effects.

Michael Purses replied on February 23, 2010 06:12 to the question "Moving files and editing file locations" in Songbird:

It will have to restructure your folder format if you use it.

Or you can change your drive name (and previous folder format to your music) to what it was before. In Windows Vista/7 use the "Disk Management" feature to change your drive letters. In Linux just rename it, easy enough. On a Mac, I'm not sure.

A comment on the question "How can I import smart playlists from itunes?" in Songbird:

I don't think iTunes stores there smart playlist information friendly enough for Songbird to import them.. I believe that's why it's not supported. – Michael Purses, on February 23, 2010 06:03

Michael Purses replied on February 23, 2010 03:20 to the question "Moving files and editing file locations" in Songbird:

Hey Ryan,

I think the easiest way to do it would be to move your files back to the location they were in, then use the Manage Files feature to move them to your other drive.

Michael Purses replied on February 23, 2010 03:14 to the question "How can I import smart playlists from itunes?" in Songbird:

Importing smart playlists from iTunes is not supported, but the good thing is you can easily re-create them in Songbird because it has smart playlist support. Just gotta do it manually.
