We've all been there, you've finally found that video clip or music track you've been searching for online but your media player can't play it. You then have to download and install an application to do so, taking up yet more time. The best media applications when browsing are those that enable you to play multiple file formats, this way you spend more time watching and listening to what you want than you do downloading and installing various players.

Songbird 0.6 is a cross platform media player available for OS, Linux or Windows that supports add-ons. It can stream music and video and download numerous media formats directly into your media library, and you can even manage your own audio ripped from CDs. Although Songbird is still fairly early in its development, with the right add-ons this is already a very useful application.
