Songbird is the highly anticipated open source media player,
utilizing the XUL and Mozilla platform to create a cross platform, internet
enabled player. This could prove to be the ideal solution for those hacked off
with Apple’s resource-hungry iTunes player, and a saving grace for those who
still think Windows Media player is where it’s at. Indeed, from the screenshots
alone, you’d be forgiven for thinking this is just an iTunes rip-off with bells
on.
However, our first impressions were positive, finding a more intuitive interface
and greater flexibility with tagging. As with all first beta releases, there
are plenty of bugs, but expect this to rapidly go from strength to strength now
that the geeks have got their dirty mitts on it.
