Songbird 1.4.3 Installer
// February 24th, 2010

Due to very high request, I present the Songbird 1.4.3 installers.
As promised, we’ve just started pushing updates from 1.2.0 to the new 1.4.3 release!
If you’re impatient, or raring to grab the update, go to Help > Check for Updates in the Songbird menus to trigger an update; this will download 1.4.3 in all its purple glory!
We know some of you prefer the Gonzo Feather. Thankfully, we have an awesome community developer and Songbird Champ: boosh. He went ahead and made a Gonzo 2.0 Feather using all the UI enhancements we made in Purple Rain, but with the visual style of Gonzo.
You can either remove the old installation and do a fresh install or upgrade the existing one. Please leave feedback on your experience.

thanks man!
works like a charm – thank you
Thank you Erich!
many thanks!
Oh, and I couldn’t initially get this to start on Xubuntu 9.10, and other people have reported problems on Ubuntu and Fedora.
See http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/songbird_fails_to_start_on_fedora_11_with_undefined_symbol_in_libgstdeinterlace_so for details, but basically the problem is that Songbird comes with its own version of the gstreamer libraries, which conflict with new gstreamer libraries from the Ubuntu (and other repos).
The fix:
Update to latest version of gstreamer if you haven’t already
rm /usr/share/Songbird/lib/libgst*
thanks
THANK MATE!
Dude! You’re so awesome! Thanks a lot! I’ve been looking for this one forever! Thanks to you, my Ubuntu is now complete!

Thank you. I’m extremely grateful
Works!
will it update via sudp apt-get update?
No, you can update it from within Songbird, using the auto-update feature
Thanks! It works and it’s one of the greatest players in the world.

Hi,
What about a new DEB package of Songbird 1.7.3?
Working on it as we speak. :]
Hey, I dont how isworking now, but now songbird close the Linux support, thats one of the worse news ive heard this days.
This is the greatest software for organizing music and showing info about your songs.
Please keep giving us the chance to have in linux.
Cool and peace
Really cool but doesn’t start at my ubuntu 10.04 lucid because of the following errors:
(gst-plugin-scanner:8555): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified instance size for type `GstRtpG726Pay’ is smaller than the parent type’s `GstBaseRTPAudioPayload’ instance size
(gst-plugin-scanner:8555): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_register: assertion `g_type_is_a (type, GST_TYPE_ELEMENT)’ failed
(gst-plugin-scanner:8555): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GstRTPDepay’
(gst-plugin-scanner:8555): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0′ failed
(gst-plugin-scanner:8555): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_register: assertion `g_type_is_a (type, GST_TYPE_ELEMENT)’ failed
Wrong glib?
Any ideas?
I suggest taking a look at this thread: http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/songbird_wouldnt_start_on_ubuntu_jaunty
Thank you very much, only this way I could enjoy SongBird in my flaming Ubuntu 10.4

Muchas gracias, solo asi pude disfrutar de SongBird en mi flamante Ubuntu 10.4
thanx man…this is the most awesme download yet!!! kills all the other media players!! thanx for making this possible
Heel fijn dingetje,dit Songbird.Alleen een nare fout in,vind ik.Hij gaat gewoon alles afspelen als je de hele collectie hebt ingescant!
Hij gaat niet alles inrichten naar album en/of artiest.Zo dat je tenminste niet al de nummers die je niet meer aan kunt horen kan over slaan….Dus zolang hij deze fout heeft zal ik hem niet meer gebruiken,helaas………
awesome! thanks for the installer!! hopefully sometime in the future Songbird developers will get back at the linux version, it’s one of the best players ever!
