Congrats to my buddies (yo Koshi!) over at Songbird for reaching another big milestone: public beta.

Songbird is a media player like iTunes. Except that it’s build on top of the awesome Mozilla Firefox foundation. And like Firefox, it has an extensive array of extensions, themes, and assorted addons. Earlier versions haven’t supplanted iTunes for me, but it’s looking like this version may well do that.

I had some trouble imagining what type of addons would make sense, but in this release we’re beginning to see. An early favorite for me is the ticketing integration:

You can read all about the release on their blog, download it here, and see a screenshot below:

  1. sweet, I haven’t checked out songbird in a long time, I’ll definitely give it another look, seems like its getting to the “dope” stage

  2. Songbird is awesome!! I don´t really like iTunes, maybe because I don´t like Apple at all:)? Especially because of the extensions it´s much more variable and that´s great. You can personalize it really great and the sound is even better than in winamp. I just love it!
