Interesting - the screenshots look nice. I'll keep an eye on this. The developer doesn't want to release it as open-source (not initially anyway) but it's something I'd like to play around with if and when it is open-sourced.

I wouldn't put much trust into it for different reasons. I rather hope Songbird gets 1.0 sooner.

Well i have also MacOSX and since there is ITunes "the standard" and i didn't like it too mcuh i tried Songbird.

After 2 days i got back to Itunes, got there ogg to work and was happy till now.

Well lets see if there is a "offical" linux releas!

It's about time we get a good app written in Java that is not a developer program. :)

The UI looks real good.

The interface reminds me a bit of the MS Zune software, though I'm sure it's not even comparably as bloated.
