iTunes? It's cool.
Windows Media Player? It's alright.
VLC? It pwns.
Yet, I'm not talking about any of those. I'm talking about Songbird, the Mozilla-based libarary manager and web browser. About half a year ago, while browsing Yahoo! Answers, I came across a question about WiMP alternatives, and one of the answers pointed to the Songbird homepage. "IDK WTH this is @," I thought to myself, and continued looking around the website. Suddenly, I'm struck with something great. A 30x100 pixel button that says "Powered by Mozilla". Awestruck, I download and install Songbird, a 2-minute process for me. I open the program to find a UI that's much like iTunes, but in a dark green deviantART-like style. So I start checking out the menus and going through the "First-time startup" dialog to find that it lets you import your libraries from iTunes and several types of playlists (.m3u being most prominent, of course). So I start adding some songs via drag-n-drop in Explorer.
