how many years to get to v.1? and reviews of bad implementations and buggy.
What problem are these guys trying to solve? what market are they after?
Though I don't deny there is a market for alternative players (foobar2000, MusicIP Mixer), i've never understood what songbird was really offering that made them standout and get all the press they do.
Perhaps the Mozilla backing? When this was introduced, I remember Digg falling over itself and calling this a revolutionary product. This was after Firefox 2 came out and could do no wrong.
What problem are they trying to solve? A non-Applfied itunes-like app, that doesn't force you to install quicktime and iPodService.exe and other crapware.
What market are they after? Well, I might consider buying an iPod now that it isn't tethered to freakin iTunes.
