Songbird - Pretty cool

November 25th, 2005 |

For listening to music I usually switch between 2 apps: Winamp, for quick listening to individual mp3’s or directories, because of it’s quick loading, and iTunes for everything else: it has a great media library, great UI, integration with podcasts(and videocasts as well), very fast and cool search and playlist creation). Briefly, iTunes would be my tool of choice if it wasn’t sooo slow sometimes, and if it didn’t nag me each time I want to close it, saying that some other app is using it (i.e. Firefox with the Foxytunes extension).

In the near future, however, I’m planing to test SONGBIRD (to be released no early than December), an iTunes-like Media Manager built using XUL and CSS (in other words, using the Firefox&Mozilla libraries). It looks great, and I just hope it will provide me with enough incentive to stop using iTunes, of which I’ve become addicted

Here it is, the SongBird Blog

And a brief note about it on TechCrunch

Update
From the comments of the TechCrunch post, I find about another cool app on the making: Streampad – an online player that “interface and integrates with many other web services” created by one of the developers of Del.icio.us.
