23 Useful System Applications for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I earlier wrote about Top 5 BitTorrent Clients for Ubuntu Linux, 7 Awesome
| 3D Graphic Design Applications for Linux , 23 Free Ubuntu Linux Login Screens
| and Top 10 Free Video Editors for Linux . It’s always great to have Linux
| Alternatives to popular applications so I’ve decided to write about some of
| the most useful System applications for Linux including Cd burners, Aniti
| Virus, FTP solutions and instant messengers that you can download today.

10 Songbird add-ons for a better audio player
,----[ Quote ]
| Slowly but steadily, Mozilla grew into more areas of interest than someone
| could have previously imagined. Firefox, Thunderbird, Instabird for instant
| messaging and... Songbird. The latter is a promising audio application some
| of you might have gotten yourselves accustomed to. The 1.0.0 release launched
| in the first days of December delivers an impressive arsenal ranging from
| themes to add-ons.

iTunes Wishes it Could be Like Songbird
,----[ Quote ]
| Better than iTunes? Yes. Replacement for iTunes? No, because of the
| proprietary nature of iTunes and iPods, Songbird can never fully provide the
| same functions you will get with iTunes while using with Apple products,
| which is why Songbird is yet to have support for iPhone/iPod touch. But for
| Linux users who can’t use iTunes, Songbird is the best option not only as an
| iTunes replacement but arguably the best Linux media player out there.

Review : Songbird - Sleek , Simple and Feature rich cross-platform Music Player
,----[ Quote ]
| I had reviewed Songbird close to two years back , and at that time Songbird
| was impressive but was bug ridden, lacked important features and certain
| degree of polishing which was expected from an application intended to be
| used on Desktops. Songbird 1.0 is an entirely different story altogether,
| Songbird 1.0 is mature, has slick interface and most importantly is stable
| enough to be used by newbiess.

Songbird 1.0 Review - An Awesome Release!
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, Songbird definitely became a major player with this release. With
| plenty of features and a wonderful approach, I can say I warmly recommend
| Songbird as the primary audio player to anyone, and at least a try if you
| haven't used it yet. It's powerful and it practically acts like a music
| centre for an audiophile.

Goodbye Rhythmbox, Welcome Songbird!
,----[ Quote ]
| Although I don't like to admit it, I have always liked the
| iTunes media player. I know it hogs so much RAM, and that
| it loves to crash half way through your most loved song -
| but it is so sexy. I wasn't too keen on the idea of
| installing and running it through Wine, as it would only
| use even more RAM then before. I settled for Ryhthmbox in
| the end, even though it didn't really compare at all to
| iTunes. I finally had enough of its uglyness this evening,
| and went on the search to find a better alternative. After
| a bit of Googling,I had found it!

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.
