SongBird-the open source media player

Song bird is mozilla's offering in the media player category. In other words, it is the musical cousin of Firefox. It has an interface similar to that of iTunes but it does its job pretty neatly and has its own charm and unlike iTunes, it is open source.
Here's a tech sheet of what this media player has to offer:


*
Media Importing

Add media to Songbird by importing from your file system or iTunes.
*
Media Playback

Songbird supports MP3, FLAC, and Vorbis on all platforms; WMA and WMA DRM on Windows; and AAC and Fairplay on Windows and Mac.
*
GStreamer

Songbird uses GStreamer as the main media playback system, across all platforms.

*
Gapless Playback & Replay Gain

Skips padding data due to encoding and chains files for gapless playback experience. Adjusts the playback gain appropriately if a track's metadata contains replay gain information.

Improving the performance and stability of Songbird is an ongoing focus. Each release we set aside dedicated cycles to ensure we're making progress.

Coming Soon

CD Rip and encoding are forthcoming.

On the Way but still not home :(
On the whole, its no Cowon jet audio or an iTunes but it does what it boasts of like a pro. More hits and few misses from songbird for now but i expect more soon!
