Songbird enters Beta!  Go and get it!

Songbird, the long in developement ultimate media system for cross platform audio/visual joy has entered Beta!  The new release features a new UI, faster media scanning, drag and drop goodness, a first run wizard (with EULA – is that really a feature?), smart playlists and album art.  Wee!

    [...] Windows/Mac/Linux (All platforms): Songbird, the cross-platform, open-source music manager long in development, has reached its first beta release, 0.7, code-named “Fugazi.” New to this version are an interface overhaul with drag-and-drop capabilities, Last.fm and smart playlist capabilities, improved cataloging and playback speed, and better album art support.

It’s not bug-free, but it’s getting closer to fully functional. Songbird [via ArsGeek] [...]
