Songbird 0.2 Preview (Windows/Mac/Linux) 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.
Songbird plays MPEG Audio (mpga), MPEG Layer 3 (mp3), MP4 Audio (mp4a), Ogg Vorbis, Speex, AAC, WMA, FLAC; and less importantly, LPCM, ADPCM, and AMR.
"Songbird is a "mashup" of a web browser and a desktop media player. Think of it as the open-source analog of Windows Media Player or iTunes. Like Winamp, Songbird supports skins, which are called "feathers" in this case. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS." [ExtremeTech]
The original comment on Songbird was "promises to be the Firefox of media players", but I believe that it is more similar to the Flock concept. I personally like both iTunes and Winamp, and would occassionally use one or the other. It would be great to have a player that has the functionality of iTunes and the flexibility of Winamp.
