The Nemesis of iTunes?

This is probably the first media player I've come a cross that could potentially pose a threat to iTunes. I personally love iTunes, but since the 7.x versions, less convincingly so. But there is hope: SongBird. SongBird is a media player based around Firefox and VLC. It is currently early days but, with promised iPod support, direct links to music blogs, eMusic etc, who knows. At the moment I run it as a complement, but if iTunes gets any heavier and less stable than it already is, I might turne OpenSource on this issue too.



Blessed be,
