Songbird is a Web player built from Firefox’s browser engine. It’s is open source, will run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and supports user contributed, cross-platform extensions.

Ars Technica have some great coverage, as ever. It’ll be interesting to see how it turns out, think they’re trying to pitch it as a competitor to the iTunes monopoly. I agree with what Ars say about the difficulties of multiple online stores, though perhaps a well-written plugin for stores to share a common payment gateway such as PayPal may overcome this, or, as Ars suggest, someone may step up and create a new one. At any rate, it’s worth keeping an eye on Songbird, she might well grow up and sing?

Spoilt Victorian Child:

‘Leave Now For Adventure’ by Feedle is released today on SVC Records and has already been getting quite a bit of attention, not least from BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens who described it as “An outstanding piece of music…” when he recently played ‘Song For Dogs’ on his wonderfully eclectic show.I completely agree with him.

Some absolutely lovely tracks on SVC there, go give them a listen and then buy the record!
