Has anyone used Songbird? I've been to the website and really dig what they're trying to do, but I'm not sure if it is going to catch on and hence if people are going to build extensions for it. Without plugins there doesn't seem to be much reason to choose it over most other media players. They're art and humor on the site does rock though.
Songbird - Web based media player
I tried it a while ago and for the time it worked, it was great. It would crash my machine after a few minutes though. When they get a stable release, I may try it again. The concept is really cool, and I hope it catches on.
Built on the same engine as Firefox, looks like a Web2.0 iTunes. I used it for several months last year on my old PC. I had it running in Kubuntu and XP. I liked it a lot, I just never downloaded it when I bought the new laptop. It's very functional and pretty.
You should definitely try it out (won't hurt) and the reason it's not too popular is because it was, and I assume, still is beta software. If it works and you like it, tell your friends about it and eventually more plugins will be made when more people start using it.
