Perfect music player! … almost

Applications

Some time ago I found excellent music player called Songbird. It has cool iTunes like interface and it can be modified easily. Because it has been based on same XUL-engine that Firefox uses, you can install addons easily. Addons are automatically updated when new version come.

Best features:

  • Customizable
  • Themes
  • Good last.fm Scrobbling integration
  • Multi-platform
  • SHOUTcast radio integration
  • Smart playlists
  • It is open source

But there is some bad things also. It is not as fast as Amarok (taking 125megs of memory!) and it doesn’t support PPC-processor on Mac. ( I don’t have Intel Mac :( ) So when I use KDE I will play my music on Amarok, when I have Gnome I will use Songbird and when I am on my Mac I will use that annoying iTunes.

I am waiting for a 1.0 release…

    I tried Songbird a while ago, but couldn’t get it working because I tried it so early.
    :D

    I like Exaile better, though. Exaile has a really simple UI, which is what I want for playing music.

    Hmm, I have never seen Exaile, but I will try it as soon as possible. It looks nice.
