Mozilla Songbird - Open Source Music Player

Posted by: Jason Drohn In: technology

songbirdMaking my daily rounds, I found Mozilla’s new beta, Songbird. Songbird is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox, it is built from Mozilla, cross-platform and open source.

This should prove to be a good weekend experiment. I will let you know what I find out. In the meantime, check it out for yourself at songbirdnest.com. For anyone interested in the Mozilla projects, check out the development list. It’s always a good resource for new and exciting products!

The ‘Podscast’ below is just for testing. It is just a random song I pulled out the see how the plugin works.

This is definitely something to keep an eye on. I did a review on Songbird maybe 3 months ago on my site and at the time it was slow and buggy, but had alot of potential. I wasn’t aware it was made by Mozilla, but now that I know the potential is even greater! :)

I’m anxious to check out version 0.2!

Let me know if I should dump my old Winamp. I like winamp because it is light (resource-wise) and simple.

I had forgotten about Songbird. Glad you posted something about it. It certainly has some great features and it is cross platform. With a little more development this should be a great media player.
