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.

#2 Posted by th3rEsa on 21 Dec 2007 - 14:20: Looks like Winamp5.5

#3 Posted by artnada on 21 Dec 2007 - 14:37: I downloaded this 2 days ago, (possibly not this actual version number), but boy talk about Ram usage. Over 200mb at one stage, and usually over 100mb.

I'll try this one and see what it is like.

Edit: This build takes around 85mb.

#6 Posted by JiveMasterT on 21 Dec 2007 - 15:59: Is this still really heavy on memory usage?

#7 Posted by +Chokes on 21 Dec 2007 - 17:26: This is the best music player i saw. But without an Equalizer i cant use it.....
