Songbird 1.0 RC1 now available
So what's new in the latest build? First up, Songbird 1.0 RC1 uses GStreamer to handle media playback whether you're running the Windows, Mac, or Linux version of the program. The Songbird team says that should mean better performance and reliability. The latest build also includes a number of performance enhancements, including the ability to import media into Songbird more than twice as fast as before.
Here are a few of the other changes/improvements in Songbird 1.0 RC1:
- Users can also drag and drop images to add album art to a song.
- Addition of new keyboard shortcuts
- Smart Playlists can be used as rules within other Smart Playlists
- Improved search speed
- Faster startup times
- Scrolling large libraries is more efficient

Is there a list of bugs to be regressed and cross checked? I would love to do some work for them.

I think Songbird is a cool project, but there's no way I'll be using music player which eats 100-150mb of ram. Foobar eats only 5-10MB, and while MediaMonkey uses around 50MB it has tons of library maintaining and editing options.

Wow could they have possibly ripped off iTunes any more? I'll laugh when Apple sues them.

iTunes must be the worse Music Library UI I've ever seen on Windows.
So anything better is welcome.
I was totally amazed at how bad it was when the iPod itself is designed so much better. Apple's best kept secret?

Besides the ram eating it still lacks of a good equalizer, darn necesary for geeky music listeners like myself
