Yikes, it poo’d
http://www.songbirdnest.com/ I want you all to keep an eye on this site.
Any software endeavor that competes with the accepted status quo is great.
However, I don’t recommend anybody download it just yet. Songbird, while it shows a lot of promise, is a CPU PIG.
My system can handle a lot of things open at once, and this app plus a few other windows nearly locked the system down tight. As it was, Songbird itself locked up and nearly had to be forcily killed to get the program closed again. I am going to keep working with it, and keep going back to the nest to check for updates, but as of right now? I’ll stick with my winamp and my itunes for their respective purposes.
I won’t even go so far as to rate songbird on a 1-10 scale or anything like that, because I refuse to believe that such poor performance will continue. It is cautioned that the current release is sort of a beta of a beta, so I can’t say I’m surprised.
If anybody catches good info on what’s to come with this before I get around to (hopefully) singing the praises of an actualized SongBird, let me know what’s up!
Plus: Check out their logo. It’s a little pooting blackbird. My theory? They’re farting in the general direction of the competition. :P
