0.2 is out. Let's go portable.

I have been waiting anxiously for 0.2 to come out. If I had the programming expertise I would code this one myself, sadly I do not. I hope that this program is made portable soon, as I would love to keep it with me on my USB key.

Songbird

Seems like a very capable media player.

Wait, what the heck? You just had a medium-sized post explaining where the program stored its settings and such. Why did you edit it out?

Version 0.2

I had posted explaining what would be required to make it a portable application. But the current version, 0.1, is just a development phase meaning that anything could change for the next release. So, until version 0.2 comes out, I think it's best to wait.

songbird rocks!!

i went balls deep cause i dont feel like waiting Blum and just extracted songbird installer, with uniextract, then moved files in $_OUTDIR to the where songbird.exe is and deleted $appdata, $_outdir, and $pluginsdir, and [nis].nsi,

create a folder called app then move all those files to it, then create a folder called profile and go to C:\Documents and Settings\(You username)\Application Data\Songbird\Profiles\

grab the profile and move it to the new folder.. now create a txt file, rename it to portable songbird, and add the following text

@echo off
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
start "" ".\app\Songbird.exe" -profile ".\profile\61qzr9z8.default"
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0

make sure you change ".\profile\61qzr9z8.default" to whatever you profile folder name is and your set!

it runs just fine for me.. but i did the quick and dirty method so it might not work for some.

[edit] added more detail how i made it portable

Installers are for babies.

Yeah since then I already made a portable songbird using John's NSI script from Firefox Portable and for when 0.3 releases I'll be making that portable but this time I'll be releasing it but with modifications and new skin design and a new name
