Songbird is a desktop media player mashed-up with the Web. Songbird is committed to playing the music you want, from the sites you want, on the devices you want, challenging the conventions of discovery, purchase, consumption and organization of music on the Internet. Songbird is a player and a platform. Like Firefox, Songbird is an open source, Open Web project built on the Mozilla platform. Songbird provides a public playground for Web media mash-ups by providing developers with both desktop and Web APIs, developer resources and fostering Open Web media standards, to wit, an Open Media Web.

Looks a lot like iTunes

Yeah, but the web component certainly separates it from iTunes IMHO. I think this app still has a way to go to become my music manager of choice, but I enjoyed giving it a trial run. It worked well for visiting a lot of music blogs.

I tried this when it first came out ages ago... it was ok. Nothing, including this, has been able to beat iTunes in terms of simplicity and ease of use for me. The combination of iTunes and Last.fm has worked very well for me.
