Songbird is an open-source customizable music player thats under active development. It is based on the Mozilla platform and the ability to customize the program is huge. Loads of add-ons available! More info »
Do yourself a favor and try MusicBee (Windows) or Guayadeque/Gmusicbrowser (Linux). Songbird is...well...if it's a bird, it doesn't fly and as for songs...it doesn't sing.
Songbird's gotten progressively worse ever since they dropped iPod support. Then Linux support, the web-features that were supposed to sell Songbird, and it isn't getting any slimmer or faster (SLOOOWWW). Had higher hopes for Songbird...but it just fizzled out.
I added a 'like' for Songbird, but only for the Android version. I tried it on the desktop (on Linux) and it looks strange (read: crap).
If you don't like Apple's software, why are you buying their products? Isn't integration with their software the only real benefit they have over competitors?
I don't understand why people are buying Apple iPods and then complaining that software other than Apple iTunes doesn't support their proprietary interfaces.
Songbird will be a great, if not the best music player. But not now; is slow, lack of features and buggy. Winamp is a better option.
... at least is better than iTunes, if you don't have an iPod.
Cool app with great ambition, but with no iPod support, heavy resource footprint and general crashing, it is just too much effort. I love it, and download every new release, but for now, MediaMonkey just takes the cake
