gPodder's no plodder when it comes to podcasts

,----[ Quote ] 
| gPodder is a great application that is best for users who want to manage and 
| control their podcasts, or who need to access episodes using the BitTorrent 
| protocol. You can use it to extend the functionality of Rhythmbox and Amarok, 
| back up your feeds, and share channels with friends, all without hassle.

Songbird 0.6 - The Bird Got Wings

,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird is practically two things, both an audio player and a web browser. 
| As an audio player, it does what it's supposed to do: it plays music, 
| providing a library but not much of other options.

First look: Songbird 0.6 open source media player

,----[ Quore ]
| We tested Songbird 0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 to see how it compares to other open
| source media players. Although we encountered some bugs during our testing,
| the overall Songbird experience proved compelling. It has some unique
| features and offers a very high level of extensibility.

A Review of Songbird.

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I can say for sure that this will be one of the most popular music
| players in the future. I do wish this player had iPod support and would be
| able to add on to the iPod from playlists, though if that did happen I would
| not use Rhythmbox anymore. The player looks a lot like iTunes which I used
| before hand before I went to Linux and all of my fun distributions I have
| tried.

Songbird media player: the love child of Mozilla and WinAmp

,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird also includes built-in web browsing capabilities and offers a unique
| page API that enables web content creators to interact with the media player.
| When given permission by the user, web sites can use the Songbird page API to
| retrieve information about currently playing tracks, create playlists, and
| interact with the user's media experience in other ways. Some independent
| labels like Matador even use the APIs to turn Songbird into a user-friendly
| music store for their content. Since these capabilities are all documented,
| anyone can use Songbird as a platform for building new content distribution
| channels and innovative web-based media services.
