I'm very, very partial to Amarok and generally not a fan of anything sporting an iTunes-style music library interface. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

It is "good enough" to be my default player now. The ipod support isn't quite as nice as Rhythembox, but it will come I am sure. I also appreciate that it approaches music with an attitude of openness and sharing, much the way individuals approach it, as opposed to seeing it as a closed economic system, the way itunes does.

I wish there was an easier way to find out about things opensource but for the present I do what you do. Which is to read the blogs of people who appear committed to opensource, and to surf the web from their perspective. Glad I could be of help. rs, I took a look at amarok, but I think songbird has more potential. BTW I'd love to know how any or all of you actually found your way to this blog, it would help me understand something about the flow of information on the web Thanks for your comments, everyone.

I'm a loyal Mozilla user and I'm excited to this finally ready to use. I agree, it's pretty basic right now. However, the few addons already in place already give a taste of what is to come.

I am also jazzed about this, it looks like it might become the kind of music player that everyone's been dreaming of (but didn't know they were)!
