Apps I am looking forward to: Songbird

At first it only looked like a black iTunes, but Songbird is really looking interesting. All I have to go on are the screenshots and this post at TechCrunch, but I am eagerly awaiting the December public beta to see what's under the hood. Since it is XUL based and more open than iTunes, expect a large number of plug-ins and extensions to really do some wild new things in the frustratingly stagnant world of media players. Seriously, I've been trying to get rid of Winamp and iTunes for years, but nothing has even mildly impressed me (foobar was close, but I don't have weeks to spend fiddling with software to make it work like I want it to). At this point, Songbird has a very low bar to clear to become the best of breed media player.

  3. [...] This is probably one of the coolest little applications I’ve seen in a long time. Songbird is an open source music player built on the Firefox platform. It’s pretty advanced for such a young concept (version 0.1 as I write this) and has a lot of people very impressed. It’s kinda like iTunes, but open to the whole web. Ooooh, the possibilities… [...]

  4. 0.1 and the soon to be 0.2 do no justice to what the Songbird player may become when it achieves full version status.

  5. Songbird is something we've been waiting for.
    And that's exactly what I'll keep doing, waiting.
    I'll be waiting until Songbird gives us a graphical equalizer, for without it, it can't even be considered a serious media player.

  25. The franchise was established in 1967 as a founding member of the American Basketball Association, with trucking magnate Arthur Brown as the owner. Brown had operated several AAU teams in and around New York City, and was viewed as an ideal pick to run the nascent league's New York franchise.

  26. Some were booked solid, and others had owners who didn't want to anger the Knicks by opening their doors to a rival team. Since the team was scrambling for a venue with opening day approaching, it finally settled on the Armory in Teaneck, New Jersey, and changed its team name to the New Jersey Americans, though its franchise name remained the New York Americans.
