CD Rip Addon for SongBird

Is anyone interested in making this. I found the forum comment linked below from one of the developers who basically said he couldn't envisage having a CD ripping feature on song bird. You'll see a comment I added suggesting the addon and a possible solution to how. I'm no programmer so sorry but this is a request to anyone with the time and know how to make this.

Please post if you think you'll take this up. I think if it is developed in time to be ready for when Ryan mcCue has the devtest for songbird out so they can be trialled together it would mean an increased testing pool for both.

Im back......

Yoooo! Im back, I know I wasnt gone too long but ill be leaving somewhere again in a few weeks. Yeah so wats new here? Ill look around to see what I missed, oh yeah is there anyone here who is pretty good at AutoHotKey, I began to look into it yesterday and I even began to write a little program. I got the basic Idea out but I wanted someone to test it so I can fix it before I get too much code. Ill probably post it in the beta forums in a bit.

Yay, summer!!!
I will now reflect over what had happened over the school year:

  1. I met my teachers
  2. We had fun
  3. Home Ec. tasted good
  4. Health was rather tedious
  5. I love all the food in the cafeteria except for sloppy jose, patties, and plain pizza (eww...).
  6. For art I had the same teacher as I did in 2nd.
  7. Keyboarding was too limited, I couldn't even write an html file.
  8. My teachers gave great parties
  9. My teachers let us outside instead of learning.
  10. I went on the tire swing, I almost died from swinging 90 degrees Shock

New computer

Submitted by LittleUnkn0wn on June 20, 2008 - 2:30pm

I'm getting a new computer, which is forcing me to downgrade... I mean upgrade to Vista. So for those of you out there who already use Vista, what software should I be sure to get, and what isn't compatible (I think I read somewhere Pidgin won't work).

FYI, I'm already going to put 7-Zip, Firefox, ClamWin, and VLC on it.
-------
Apps already suggested:

  • Inkscape
  • OpenOffice
  • WinPooch

Goodbye...
