Songbird
I am interested in software and development as well as music and hot design so this post is given. Songbird must be my favorite open-source music player available to the Windows XP platform to the date. At least among the ones that I know of. Some reasons why I like it besides the obvious cool name is the add-ons which makes it possible for me to customize it according to what I like my music player to be. Such as Last.Fm and Twitter integration, Music Recommendations and the SkreemR Search.
Songbird is a free and open source software audio player and web browser founded by Rob Lord and developed by Pioneers of the Inevitable (with members who previously developed for both Winamp[1] and the Yahoo! Music Engine), with a stated mission ”to incubate Songbird, the first Web player, to catalyze and champion a diverse, open Media Web.”[2]
Songbird employs Mozilla’s XULRunner platform, and is thus capable of running on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux. Songbird utilizes the GStreamer media framework.

I agree. I first tried Songbird on Ubuntu Linux and now have it on Windows as well. I really like that it has the LastFm integration and scrobbler as well.
The ”Feathers” are cool too.

I too came across Songbird the same way, through Ubuntu Linux. I have only heard of Feathers, haven’t looked into it, maybe I should? :.-D
