Songbird is an open source project to develop a cross platform media player to rival proprietary offerings like Apple’s iTunes or… oh well I guess iTunes is the only proprietary media player worth a mention really. The good news is the is now a “developer’s” binary of Songbird 0.2.5 available from here, so you can now have the joy of Songbird without the misery of worrying about C compiler flags. I’ve tested it on Ubuntu and Mac OS X (Intel):

One of the cool things about songbird is its seamless integration with network resources - once point it at the URL of a site that has MP3s (or almost any other audio format imaginable) on it, you can easily subscribe to podcasts and feeds and effortlessly drag and drop remote media into your library. A short but comprehinsive screencast will tell you everything you need to get going. If you listen to music on your computer, check out songbird.
