Open source Songbird to begin shipping with millions of MP3 players
,----[ Quote ]
| And it's about to become a whole lot more
| recognizable: Philips has just agreed to ship
| branded version of Songbird with millions of
| GoGear portable media players.
|
| The news is a major win for Songbird and open
| source software in general. It's also the
| kind of distribution deal that you don't
| often hear about for a piece of OSS. I'm
| still waiting for the day when laptops start
| showing up on retail shelves with Firefox
| preinstalled...
|
| It's also a win for Philips, since lower-
| price MP3 players like theirs are often
| saddled with substandard software. Songbird
| gives them a sexy, extensible, and feature-
| rich application to ship.

Open source media player Songbird 1.4.2 released
,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird Logo Six months after the last stable
| release â version 1.2 (version 3 never got out
| of beta) the Songbird developers have announced
| the availability of version 1.4.2 of their
| popular open source media player. According to
| a post on the Songbird Blog, the 1.4.2 release,
| which appeared one day after Songbird 1.4.1,
| addresses a "UI glitch" bug in the release that
| "made mashTape and LyricMaster hard to use". In
| addition to several bug fixes, the latest
| stable release of the cross-patform player
| focuses on improving device and format/codec
| support.

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.
