Songbird is the Firefox of media players. And Mosaic. And Netscape. And a bag of potato chips.
Imagine iTunes with the Web inside. Imagine iTunes sync’ing to every device in the musiverse. Imagine all the people.
iTunes is great but, to quote Trent Reznor,
“iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don’t feel cool when I go there. I’m tired of seeing John Mayer’s face pop up. I feel like I’m being hustled when I visit there, and I don’t think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc. Amazon has potential, but none of them get around the issue of pre-release leaks.”
Songbird 0.3 is mostly for developers but I’m already using it to discover and subscribe to badass new music like Knob Tweakers. It is stable and the inevitable bugs at this stage of development are innocuous.
P.S. Songbird has tabs. Tight:
