I will mess with it more tonight as when I used songbird to sync the one time it did it pretty quickly where windows media player takes forever.
Yeah I was concerned about the formatting bug, if that is a bug maybe its intended, so will do a backup.
I also heard its transcoding everything ti wma or some odd format is that true? I want to keep my AAC and MP3 files in tact.
I'll still keep hacking away with my song tagging and organization before I worry about the N900 sync process.
Im using Mp3tag to do the brunt of the work but it looks like songbird can do some tag moding too so that may come in handy for the final stage of organizing my music, say I filter by genre and an artist I like has 2 or 3 differnt genre tags by default I would be able to spot that easy in songbird and change them to be all the same.

So far drag & drop is ultra fast on the N900 very happy with that, even several GB of video files went fast.
I spent quite a few hours tagging music today made great progress but still a long way to go. The better I get at it the more errors I start to discover with the meta data on my music collection. All day today I was plauged with errors connecting to the freedb tagging server too.
For somebody with a conventional music collection this would be no problem, but I have this very random collection of stuff that I have gathered sometimes 1 file at a time since I was a kid.

I have the same issue on my MacBook (Snow Leopard).
Download a fresh 1.4.3 version, when I laugh app nothing appears. Processes is running in activity log, but all I get is the little icon and the menu bar (which does nothing when you click on it).
Weird bug that should have bee sorted out.
Looks like i have to fire up Parallels...shame...Windows... ** CRINGES **

So just to recap, there still is no support for the
N900
+
Sunbird Version: Songbird 1.4.3, Build 1438 (20091223030122)
+
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS- the Lucid Lynx
?
What's up with this? Maemo is a linux based OS and most of the stuff is only working on Windows XP, Vista and 7. The whole reason I purchased this phone is because it was supposed to be a linux based system away from Windows. I dislike Windows with passion and it seems like Maemo is still on the Micro$oft crack pipe.

Well I installed it and got it to work. It took me a while to realise where the music was being sync to. The annoying thing is that it's synced to the folder which I used to backup the ringtones, So now I've lost all of them.
Is anyone able to upload the ringtones or is this against copyright?

Doesn't creating a file in the .is_audio_player in the MyDocs folder enough for it to be picked up as a audio player for music stored on the N900 internal memory?
The content of .is_audio_player would be somewhat like the following:
audio_folders=Music/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=audio/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg,audio/wav,audio/flac,audio/mp3
If the music is stored on the removable drive, put the .is_audio_file into the root of the sd card.
