Songbird: A replacement for iTunes player

Hi all,

Am trying out an open source media player, Songbird. It is based on the Mozilla Firefox engine so I'm guessing there will be lesser security issues (iTunes have to be updated regularly for security bugs)... olus during installation I realised that Nullsoft is behind this player too... for those uninitiated, Nullsoft's the company behind the long forgotten Winamp that helped kickstart the mp3 revoution...

Songbird installer >> "Pigeon egg"

Songbird shortcut >> "Pretty Nightingale"

Songbird in full flight >> "Media Player cum Browser"

An interesting feature of the player's is its ability to find media files links (audio & video). The picture below illustrates me surfing GuitarTalk using the inbuilt browser and it automatically shows the downloadable file links on my blog! Cool! :)

Seeing is believing... for more information, watch this screencast. :)

Blessings,
GuitarTalk
