Imagine… A web browser like Firefox inside of a media player like iTunes. Really… think about it… Pretty great idea right?  Songbird, finally out of beta, lets you play music and surf the web in the same application.

I am always listening to music while I surf, and I am willing to bet you do too.

Maybe your skeptical about marrying these two application together? You may think that iTunes is good for you, and it does just what you want, Firefox too. This maybe so. In fact, that’s what I thought as well. But, don’t knock it until you try it! Just take a look.

When you see the life that Songbird brings to your music, you will quickly abandon iTunes.

What Songbird can do for YOU, straight out of the box:

So far so good? On the edge of one butt cheek now? You know, we haven’t even got to the juicy goodness center yet, Firefox! Yea, it is really Firefox in there! And, since its Firefox, you can use your favorite Firefox add-ons. The feature list only grows further when you find Songbird add-ons and enhance your experience even more!

Here are a few Songbird add-ons that I love:

So, are you convinced that Songbird might be worth a try? I use it full time now to web browsing and to listen to music. Head over to their site, getSongbird.com, and grab you free copy for your Windows, Mac, or Linux OS. If you are still skeptical or you didn’t see a feature you can’t do without, check out their features page for a detailed list of current features, along with a list of features in the works.

Try Songbird and tell me and the Songbird team what you think.
