Songbird 0.2 (almost) released

Posted on | June 27, 2006 | No Comments

Songbird’s source-repository was opened for public access today. Songbird is an opensource audio-player & -manager based on firefox’ HTML-rendering-engine and XUL-framework. besides opening the repository, the Songbird-team released binaries (pre0.2) for windows, linux and mac os (that’s a premiere for linux & mac).

despite looking like a black iTunes-clone at first glance, Songbird introduces innovative concepts for browsing websites containing audio-data. the integrated browser automatically extracts linked audio-files and offers them for one-click-download to the library. the pre0.2 release of Songbird looks promising – if you don’t want to install the software to your computer, I recommend watching these screenscasts to get an impression of its features.
