Office Standard 2010 Activation Key Songbird Bug A

[tools390]

Just when the Songbird media player was finally shaping up right into a mature software we liked, a vital bug has emerged that deletes all of the songs from an iPod when it’s connected to the app.
The problem, which the Songbird team is already aware of, lies with a buggy iPod add-on that can corrupt and even delete audio from your iPod. At this time, the problem is only affecting a small minority of users.
Songbird has pulled the iPod add-on from its list of recommended add-ons. But that hasn’t stopped understandably upset users from venting their anger on Songbird.
One very upset Wired.com reader wrote in to tell us he lost 60gb of new music to the bug.
"It looks like I’m going to have to rip a bunch of CDs since I long ago lost the original files in a HD crash," he says.
Another victim, JG, argues that if Songbird wants people to use their product,Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010 Key, they have to provide something worth using. “They haven’t [and] I’m done with it," he goes on to add.
“Just lost about 70gb of songs,” writes another user,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, who also says he or she will be “going back to iTunes.”
That’s bad news for the fledgling Songbird project which has, at least unofficially,Office 2010 Generator, positioned itself as an iTunes-killer. For many users Songbird offers the same promise Firefox once did — it can replace the bloated, over-hyped giant (in this case iTunes) with the svelte newcomer that “gets it.”
But what if the newcomer accidentally nukes the many new music on your iPod?
Judging by user reports the disappearing files issue involves a collision of several factors and has only affected a few people.
But when there’s a possibility of deleting your audio, it never hurts to be overly cautious — if you downloaded the latest version of Songbird prior to yesterday, make sure to head to preferences and disable the iPod add-on.
For those who’ve already become victims of the bug, it’s possible all is not lost. If for some reason you don’t have a backup of your iPod audio on your hard drive,Office Standard 2010 Activation Key, you can always try a data recovery tools like Recuva for Windows or PodSalvage for Mac.
It’s a shame that the otherwise much-improved latest version of Songbird has been bitten by this bug. While it’s no consolation to those who lost data to the iPod bug, judging from the Songbird bug tracker entry on the issue, it looks like a solution has been found and will be ready in time for the next release.
To be fair,Office Pro Plus 2007 Product Key, iTunes itself has a history of similar iPod update issues and while there’s no excuse for Songbird, the larger message is pretty simple: don’t trust any software, ever. More importantly, make backups, lots of backups.
