Songbird is the audio player sibling to Firefox and Miro, providing innovative new features that connect music with other media and web community content. It’s a highly user-friendly open source program that lets its users discover, share and listen to music in new and unique ways.

Yesterday, Songbird 1.0 was released to the world.

What is Songbird exactly? In the project’s own words, “Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that’s under active development. We’re working on creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music.”

Many new features have been implemented in this latest release, and there are many more planned for the next phases of development. Now is a great time to check it out, provide feedback, and even get involved to participate in its ongoing growth.
