Songbird
The last time I tried Songbird was when it first was made available 😛 At first it didn’t impressed me, heck, the sound didn’t even worked on Windows… The impression it gave me was that Songbird was a beefed-up extension for Firefox, kinda like Flock but with some multimedia gizmos. And so it was long left forgotten in my “don’t even bother to look again” list of software.
I don’t know what got in me today to install the Songbird Developer Preview 0.2 on my Ubuntu. Download, untar, run, that’s it. Songbird looked for my audio collection and identified my albums perfectly and fast. One or two clicks later and it was playing a few Enigma tracks. Cool! This time it even plays music 😉
But I’m being bad… Songbird has matured very much since the first version, and it’s very nice to have a cool and good looking media player with good features and that doesn’t suck like the majority that comes bundled with most of the distributions out there… still I rather have something like Amarok for Gnome.
