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.

I'm looking forward for this project to do well but it's still a little tough rough around the edges.
The founder for this project is the ordinal founder behind winamp. He left winamp after AOL took over and due to too much conflict with AOL.
This is one of the few ways I know you can listen to shout cast radio station on a mac.
The performance issues remind me of Miro, which like Songbird, use Mozilla's XULRunner. The first time I used Miro, it would slow my entire system to a crawl, but the latest version performs very well (same as how Firefox 3 is faster than Firefox 2). I imagine that Songbird will get similar performance enhancements by the time it reaches version 1.0.
