Songbird is a new Mozilla based Open source highly customizable media player with a web browser. The best feature is if you visit a page that has links to mp3s then it pops up a window at the bottom and lists all the files available for download or play. Just like Firefox Addon’s, hundreds of useful free  add-ons enhance Songbird.

At first sight, it looks like a itunes clone with a license free code. Features are abound like

• Support for iTunes-like smart playlists
• Optional concert calendar displays upcoming shows in your area based on the artists in your music library
• Last.fm support allows you to scrobble tracks
• Now uses GStreamer as the media core
• Manually transfer or sync media to a variety of iPods and MTP Devices.
• Multiple tab and support to Windows, Mac, and Linux. Yup, I am thinking of replacing iTunes on my Macbook with a RC release.
• Faster metadata scanning and writing which makes it easy to manage your media and writes your changes back to the file.

Like they say, the best things in life are free. Grab it here.
