songbird, from the guys behind winamp …

… with some good stuff by mozilla/vlc/lots of other clever people!

I was installing this: http://userstyles.org/styles/2318 in FF this morning (and wow it’s nice, makes google reader even better ;-) and saw in the list of supported programs ‘songbird‘. Not heard of that I thought. A new things from mozilla?! So after a google I found: http://songbirdnest.com/ and even though it’s still in developer build, it looks very impressive.

Imported my itunes library (except things from the itunes store) great, found all the vids on my system (in all formats but doesn’t seem to like flv at the mo) and plays things very nicely. And it’s SO FAST! There’s no lag at all when clicking to play videos or music.

And having surfing as built in (but using a decent browser) is also great. Think of it like having firefox, itunes and divx in one program! I’ve not tried the ipod support yet…

Once this gets into a fully working program, I think it’s gonna turn a lot of heads!
