Songbird Launches Preview Version

I am calling Songbird the Web 2.0 version of Winamp. For years we used Winamp and loved it, right? I would venture that back in the late '90s, Winamp was the man. I think its drop in usage was mostly fueled by the increase of legal downloads and applications to support those legal downloads like iTunes and Napster.

Here is the overview from the Songbird web site:

Songbird^™ is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox^®, it is built from Mozilla^®, cross-platform and open source. Songbird is developed by a band of experienced, dedicated software developers and designers called the Pioneers of the Inevitable. Our previous hatchlings include Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine.

I have some questions about the web app such as whether there is support for iTunes. I have requested an interview with the Songbird team and will report back once I hear from them.
