Songbird is an open source audio browser and player that was originally released in 2006. This advanced application has a built-in browser, audio and video playback, and many features. Users have access to a wide range of skins, plugins, extensions, and other customization options at no additional cost. In addition to being a web browser, Songbird is also a free media player that runs on Mozilla’s XULRunner platform.

This Gecko-based media player and web browser works on Linux, Apple Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Solaris. If this program finds MP3 files on a web page, it creates a dynamic playlist automatically. The music is sorted by album, song, or artist, and all songs saved on your hard drive are displayed. Key features like the great plugins and integrated web browser are what sets this app apart from the rest.

Songbird allows users to browse the Internet and list their favorite songs at the same time. There are five MP3 blogs already listed in the browser when you install it. These blogs are great for those who like to keep up with the music scene. Users can also choose which plugins they want to enable by default. This innovative web browser can do everything that Firefox and iTunes can do. These are some of its main features:

• Smart lists

This app features a large number of extensions and plugins for a superior browsing experience. New items go on separate tabs, which helps reduce clutter. The interface is clean and intuitive, and you can customize it according to your needs. Songbird allows users to open more than one playlist in each tab. This program will do everything you want your music player to do, and more. When you install the browser, it will import any iTunes playlists and music you have.

In addition to the comprehensive music library, Songbird features a resizable panel that includes the artist’s biography, videos, images, and news, so you no longer have to search for this information online. Any of the songs in the already created playlists can be added to your own custom playlist. With many features and a unique approach, Songbird can easily replace your current web browser.
