Songbird cracks 10,000 songs
,----[ Quote ]
| The code improvements have allowed for smoother scrolling, faster filtering,
| and just overall better management of music collections of any size. Songbird
| is well on its way to being a serious jukebox. Other fixes include the
| previously nonfunctional edit menu joining the land of the living and the
| introduction of in-page text searching.

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.

Mozilla + iTunes + Rhapsody = Songbird
,----[ Quote ]
| Lord calls Songbird a "mashup between a Web browser and a media player,
| creating a new class of app I call a Web player." Songbird will support all
| open file formats but it will also support codecs (define) and Digital Rights
| Management (DRM) in Windows media, VLC and Quicktime. That means it can play
| the iTunes AAC file format, XviD, Ogg Vorbis and WMV files.

Songbird: The Firefox of Media Players
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox is not only a fine web browser, but the code it's based on
| is a standardized open-source framework that other applications can
| use take as a basis, using XUL--eXtensible user-interface language
| (pronounced ZOOL). XUL apps work across platforms and can either
| be internet-connected or standalone.
|
| Today we'll take a look at one of the most appealing XUL
| apps--Songbird, from Pioneers of the Inevitable, Inc, which
| claims folks who've previously worked on Winamp and Yahoo!
| Music Engine.

Songbird aims to be the Firefox of media players
,----[ Quote ]
| I installed the developer preview and, although obviously not complete,
| it's a sharp tool. I'd compare it to Amarok, a popular player on the
| KDE/Linux platform but, that also misses out on much of the deeper
| exploring and interacting features that are in and planned for Songbird.
| At the least, Songbird is a project on which to keep a keen eye.
