Forget that outdated metallic feel of iTunes and say hello the modern, plastic black of Songbird. It looks like iTMS, it works with iTMS, but it’s more then that. It’s open source, based off of the Gecko rendering engine, uses XML/XUL based GUI, and is able to use the multiple Microsoft music services along with iTMS. The only bad thing is that there isn’t even a beta preview yet so until then it can’t be used by the masses.

I had my four wisdom teeth extracted today. I fought off the anesthetic again but didn’t try to get up like last time. I can’t eat anything too solid for about a week so until then it’ll be fun finding things to snack on.

  • I can’t wait to get my hands on songbird. I’ve been following the blog for about a week, and I’m really excited.

    As for the teeth, that sucks man.

    Thanks for this post, Songbird looks like some nice software!

  • I just read about Songbird yesterday, my first time on the net since thursday, I’ve been playing Sim City 4 Deluxe edition for most of the previous days that i was on my computer. I can’t wait until it is released, a good excuse to get rid of iTunes.

    Yeah the teeth suck, i can’t wear my retainer yet, well rather I’ll try tonight, I don’t want my teeth to shift because of a now lack of pressure on them.
