Songbird 0.2 Version Released: MP3 Player and More

Songbird is an upcoming media player that owes much of its overall look to iTunes. However, whereas Songbird will play mp3s from your music library, it also goes beyond that functionality in what the site describes as a mashup between a "desktop Web player, a digital jukebox, and Web browser". Using built-in web pages listing mp3s, you can cruise to the webpage, see the music files as links, and then drag those files directly over into the library. Using the web browser aspect, you can add other bookmarks to music-hosting sites. You can also find and play videos. And oh yes, it's cross-platform capable -- Macs, Windows and Linux can all join in the fun.

Sound cool? It looks to be. To see a better description of how it all works, head on over to view a video demo, and grab yourself the latest Developer Preview, 0.2.
