10 Things Songbird Does That iTunes Can’t
,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird turned 1.0 this week, and aims to do to iTunes what Firefox did to
| Internet Explorer. That is, it aims to take the basic design of something
| closed and proprietary, and turn it into something open and extensible and
| fun. Songbird aims to give the power back to the people.

Review: Songbird 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I liked Songbird 1.0. I'm no audiophile by any stretch of the word,
| and while Songbird is too much media player for my tastes (I prefer small,
| light and simple), I can't complain about the quality of the player. It
| really stands out, and that says a lot since I came into this review with a
| general apathy towards the player after the somewhat poor showing it had
| during its beta period. But I now have to say that Songbird would easily be
| a player I'd recommend to anyone looking to replace iTunes or even just
| looking for a good all in one media player for their general use.

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.
