The Firefox of Media Players?
I've never heard of Songbird before, but if its by Mozilla, I'm definitely interested!
If its made by Mozilla or Google, you can always count me in! :p

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
As far as I know Songbird has always been a Mozilla project. It is just as customizable as Firefox and the addon base is growing as it gets picked up. When you first install it, it looks a lot like iTunes so you will immediately be familiar with the UI. After that you can do just about anything you want with it, and it'll still play your music. It is also compatible with an iPod, and just about any other MP3 player you can think of (and if it isn't, I'm sure someone will write your favorite player into it).
iTunes works just fine for me though, I have no reason to switch.
I would really like my Thermaltake prizes...Thanks everyone for my wonderful prizes!
Looks very cool, much like iTunes. If it supports the AAC files I will be very keen on giving it a shot. I don't have an iPod any more, just used the software out of convenience. Now that iTunes won't let me update or uninstall it's worth a change lol.

I liked the overall interface, but the skin was a bit out-dated looking, like it belonged in Mac OS 9. Sound was good, and the colors worked. It found my library without fail.
Coffee is love, coffee is life.
I am using it now, works really well I think. The software that detects song names could be a bit better. Some of my songs from iTunes are missing their artists and albums but that's ok it was only a single artist that this happened to.
I downloaded a few skins (feathers as they like to call it). I am using "Gonzo Complete Black", goes perfectly with the standard Vista tool bar and my black firefox.

I've tried it a few times, various releases, windows and linux.
Not once has it worked properly so I dismissed it as a stinky pile of poo.
OTOH, I might just give it another try, see if it works yet.
Edit. Well the linux version doesn't. Scan media, load everything up, select a track, doesn't play it.
So, it's still a stinky pile of poo.
