Congrats to Songbird on Reaching 1.0

Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that’s under active development. Their stated goal is “creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music.” I’ve reporting their graduation from “beta” on this blog because Songbird is a browser at heart: it’s guts are the Mozilla Gecko engine.
I’ve been using it for a while now — at least for browsing MP3 blogs and the like — and it’s impressive and fun to use. Plus, it’s just super cool that it’s Gecko.
