The alternatives to iTunes

,----[ Quote ]
| However, if you want to manage your iPod, 
| look no further than Floola. Both Songbird 
| and Floola run on Windows, Macs and the 
| open-source Linux operating system. It 
| will sync your music, your podcasts, your 
| photos and your calendar, just as iTunes 
| does. Although Floola has a basic 
| interface, it does have some bells and 
| whistles that you won't find in iTunes. 
| iTunes can sync with iCal, the built-in 
| calendar app on the Mac, but Floola can 
| sync with your Google calendar too. It can 
| also copy web videos to your iPod just by 
| adding the web address of the video, 
| repair your iPod and download missing 
| artwork.

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.
