Songbird in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| If you remember my last media entry, The best Linux media players, youl
| remember I left out one very important entry - Songbird. At the time I really
| hadn given this relatively new entry to the media players a try. But
| recent pgradesto Rhythmbox and Banshee which left either 1) much to be
| desired or 2) the application unusable made me take a look at Songbird.

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 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.
