If you have tried downloading Songbird from the official site, you might have noticed it is only available for Windows and Mac users. This guide will help you to install Songbird in Ubuntu. If you are wondering what is Songbird, it is a digital jukebox rich with features. It supports most of the popular handsets like iPhone, Samsung Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, Fascinate. It also has pretty cool extensions like radio stations, lyrics display, last.fm info..etc. It is a alternative for iTunes in Ubuntu. My favorite is add-ons Mediaflow+Soundcloud integration.
Guide/Installation-
There is no PPA available for songbird yet but you can install it from the source. It works on both 32bit and 64bit. To install it in Ubuntu 11.04, open the terminal and type:
wget http://download.songbirdnest.com/installer/linux/i686/Songbird_1.9.3-1959_linux-i686.tar.gz
tar zxvf Songbird_1.9.3-1959_linux-i686.tar.gz
cd Songbird
rm /lib/libgst*.so
./songbird
After that you will get a window helping you to configure and install Songbird.
You might want to create a link, to do so click Main Menu on the Unity-panel -> click New Item to create custom-launcher.
And in the dialog box enter Name as Songbird and Command as /home/user/Songbird/songbird
*Note: Replace ‘user’ in /home/dexbuntu/Songbird/songbird with your username.
Tested it in Ubuntu 11.04 and I am pretty sure it works.
