For the longest time I saw songbird as a program that was taking it's own route. The skin got better each release and I liked where it was headed. Now they decided to scrap their originality and copy Apple. This is truly sad. They were really creating something unique and out of the box. Now they have a player that will fail to catch on because it's just itunes in open source clothes. Looks like I'll stick with Exaile or Amarok.

I like the project, but I'm sticking with foobar for the time being it uses too much RAM to be taken seriosly, I mean 200 MB while idle? even in the era of cheap RAM it’s unnaceptable, and the launch time? 20 seconds.
