Version: Songbird 0.2.5
"Regardless of Beta Flaws, EXCELLENT!!!"
Pros: This player is practically an open source version if iTunes, except better. The plugins are nice, and have lots of potential. There is a lot to the beta as is. Being able to go to a website and play whatever media is on there is a major advantage. The feathers are great if you want a better looking media player. The music player looks great with the cardinal feather. Overall, I believe this will kill iTunes. The plugins will ultimately make this media player compatible with everything. I have officially switched to Songbird!
Cons: Since it is in beta, there are some flaws. The smart playlists can be glitchy. If you set a rating at at least some number, it will later apear as artist instead of rating. The player will at rare times rename a song. Another disadvantage is the time it takes for a search on a song. But I have a large collection of songs, so that may be why. The main disadvantage is that this is a beta, so if you are going to use it, expect some frustrations.
