Basically, Songbird is a media player much like iTunes but instead of having to buy songs from the iTunes music store or whatever, you can search for songs on the internet and download them from there. Its pretty much like Google-ing for .mp3s, but Songbird lists out the results in order of audio quality and lets you stream them before you download them. There are also blogs/sites that let you stream music and with SongBird its easy to make a Online Playlist with these blogs.

Its open source and developed by “the Songbird Team,” the people who are responsible for Winamp. Its currently in the beta phase, 0.3 being the newest version, but it does what its supposed to do without messing up. The only problems I’ve encountered so far was installing some of the plug-ins. The older ones don’t work but that’s about it.

I’d suggest just trying it out. There are still a bunch of features I don’t use/haven’t gotten to yet so don’t just read this post and reject it.
