Apropos of my recent post about no longer using iTunes, thanks to cousin Dave for pointing me to the beta blog for Songbird Media Player, billed as an open alternative to iTunes, and scheduled for 0.1 release in early 2006:
Songbird is a complete desktop media player or “jukebox” with a uniquely open approach to Internet digital media network services.
Songbird is developed by Pioneers of the Inevitable, a small, chirpy team of digital media innovators whose previous incubations include the Winamp 5 and Y! Music Engine media players and Muse.Net, a location-independent digital media network service acquired by Yahoo!.
