Most Underhyped Apps of 2008

,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird
| 
| The open-source, cross-platform music player Songbird was supposed to do for 
| your tunes what Firefox did for your web browsing: free you from the claws of 
| iTunes and offer extensibility and general awesomeness. Back in November, the 
| first release candidate of Songbird didn't quite deliver, but the final 1.0 
| release this week absolutely did, now that the bird plays iTunes Store 
| purchases and ironed out its major wrinkles. Songbird was the application 
| most readers cried foul about for being excluded on our first list of best 
| apps in 2008.

Distro Update: Musix GNU+Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Other than these differences, Musix is a pretty standard distribution, but a
| good choice if you want audio and video applications at your fingertips.
| Additionally, Musix is 100% free (as in freedom), so, if that matters to you,
| that is an added bonus.

Songbird 1.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird is a good audio player, no doubt about it.
|
| I only tested it for about an hour, but it seemed stable to me.
|
| But I will never use it on my Ubuntu pc’s.
|
| I’m a Compiz Fusion guy and like my apps to integrate with the DE (Desktop
| Enviroment, aka Gnome).

Songbird’s Open-Source Music Player Finally Takes Flight

,----[ Quote ]
| Way back in February of 2006, I wrote about an early version of Songbird, a
| music-playing app that aspired to be an open-source rival to iTunes. I was
| guardedly positive. It took way longer than I would have guessed, but the
| Songbird folks finally unveiled an official version 1.0 of the application
| today. This final release bears surprisingly little resemblance to that first
| version. And while I’m still digging into it, I’m impressed.

Songbird gets ready to fly with 1.0 release candidate

,----[ Quote ]
| The Songbird developers have contributed extensively to bring cross-platform
| support to GStreamer, an open source multimedia framework that is used
| extensively on Linux. GStreamer is now used as the Songbird media backend
| across all platforms, improving the performance and reliability of audio
| playback. In addition to supporting MP3, FLAC, and OGG across all platforms,
| GStreamer also supports WMA on Windows and AAC on Windows and Mac OS X.
