An exciting new developement
http://www.boingboing.net/2006/02/08/songbird_the_open_so.htmlA team led by ex-Winamp-er Rob Lord today released a preview edition of Songbird, a desktop media player that offers an open source alternative to services like Apple's iTunes and the Windows Media Player. Instead of connecting to one locked store full of DRMmed goods, it can connect to any and all available music (and video) on the internet.
Code brains behind the project include people who helped build Winamp, Muse, Yahoo's "Y! Music Engine" media player, and developers from Mozilla Foundation. Initial release is for Windows only, with editions for other OSes to follow in the coming weeks.
This is the way things should be, many hands working towards a common goal, all to the benefit of the global community.
Cheers to all involved and keep up the good work
