A Musical Web Browser/Media Player
Sarah Perez on February 9th, 2006
Yes, another web browser, but this one looks pretty cool. Built on the Firefox engine, Songbird’s tagline is "Songbird plays the Web," and here’s why: Songbird lets you view webpages "as dynamic playlists that it can play, save, or automatically download every day." That alone would make Songbird a standout product, but Songbird real strength is that it will play your music! The Songbird 0.1 Proof-of-Concept was released just a few days ago, so you can download it now and check it out.

Nearly Sarah, but not quite. Songbird is mainly a media player, however it does have web browsing features which use the gecko.
It may be more of a music player than a web browser, but it is both.
Anyone who uses it as a web-browser must be insane. It is a resource hog. BTW, Sarah, please use coComment on your comments - that way I can track them.
Hopefully, that won’t always be the case. But you’re right, the appeal is the open source media player aspect, not the web browsing…
post corrected!
