The 22nd most popular player on Windows

Songbird is a free software media player and web browser developed by a group known as Pioneers of the Inevitable (with members who previously developed for both Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine), with a stated mission "to incubate Songbird, the first Web player, to catalyze and champion a diverse, open Media Web."

Songbird runs on Mozilla's XULRunner platform, thus capable of running on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X. On the Windows and Macintosh platforms, Songbird utilizes the GStreamer multimedia framework for media playback.

Songbird 1.7 and Philips Songbird

Enhancements with this release include:

* Expanded Device Support – including support for removable memory (SD) cards, the Google Nexus One, and improved support for the Motorola Droid. * The Return of Video Playback – Now built on GStreamer, and running on both Mac and Windows! Video codec support is a little limited in our general release at this point, but we’ll be working on it. * The Beginning of Photo Sync – In addition to audio and video, Songbird will now sync photos to your device. * Official Support for Windows 7 – It worked pretty well before, but now we’ve worked out the kinks and can stand behind it. * Various fixes to device sync, CD ripping, the UI and more!

As of April 2, 2010 official Linux support has been dropped and Linux builds are only offered as nightlies and are not tested by developers.

    Very bloated and slow, few features to make up for the bloat, felt old and abandoned.

    I really like SongBird as a music player and it does a really good job syncing my songs to my Android phone. But it's still a bid buggy and I don't really like the Android-app..

    I really want this to be a success but although it's a lot better than it was, it still has issues. Pity because I wanted to stop using iTunes which I hate.

    Could use quite a bit of improvement, but it's still a great media player. I've started using it over iTunes.

    My favorite audio player. It still needs a lot of work though. It does not feel very polished.

    Nice idea - poor execution. Features are great, but performance is AWFUL. Haven't seen a slower app for a while.

    I am continuously switching between songbird and itunes, The concept of songbird is of course much better but it's not stable on the different platforms I use.

    A really strong contender as an iTunes replacement. Highly recommended, however if you use a lot of apps I'd stick with iTunes.

    Feature wise its packed full of easy to us features. The interface is skinnable and easy to navigate. It did crash quite often, and made some of my songs unplayable in iTunes.

    If your looking for an iTunes replacement this is it.
