Version: Songbird 0.2.5
"Songbird is a Beauty"
Pros: -It is a fine blend of Firefox and MediaPlyer with a built-in FirefoxSearch box.You can search and see most of the mediasites and also it gathers automatically songs from some of the sites and play for us.In BlueBird&Cardinal Skins(they call "Feathers") it is a beauty.It has lot of features even at this Beta stage:go to songbirdnest.com and play the 'screencast'.As told in the screencast, it will become a 'standalone media player'.It has also got one "CheezyVideoWindow" to play videos.;eventhough not functions well.
Cons: At the time of download it was a 12.11MB file,but on installation it consumed more than 56.7MB of disk-space.It increases as and when you add an extension or a media file,but it is ok considering the output. It has to accommodate more online/screaming sites from all over the world(now it plays online music from a limited number of sites only).The 'CheezyVideoWindow' appears and disappears without any user control and buffering is also not done properly, the video-play stops in the middle and rolls back even-in high-speed broadband.Replay facility is also to be provided.I think these can be fixed by its Developers(it is an open source free with support from Mozilla Firefox) in coming versions.(Anyway, greetings to all those involved in this venture.)
