    Excellent mp3 player/manager/web browser in one. Reminds me so much of iTunes but with a customizeable interface and all the add-ons one could ask for. Performance is pretty good at times, but Winamp is still faster when searching for a file in a large library. Love that they've decided to throw in a Graphic Equalizer now as i thought it was one important feature Songbird seriously lacked.

    Songbird is a functional player. The add-ons are nice, but some can make the player unstable. It's not going to make me give up iTunes, but some of the add ons are pretty useful.
