I just started using it earlier this month. The 0.7 version is a great improvement.

It reminds me of moving from IE to Firefox way back (in this case iTunes>Sonbird).

sorry I downmodded by accident

Hopefully, Songbird will take the Firefox approach and start innovating more. It's good to see it copy iTunes, because iTunes has a great user interface, but at some point, they'll hopefully exceed iTunes, just like Firefox exceeded IE.

Will Songbird ever support DAAP shares? That's the one critical feature that keeps preventing me from moving away from Rhythmbox to other, more featured music players. I refuse to keep a copy of my 20GB+ music library on every single computer I own, when I can just keep it on my file server and share it on the network using DAAP...

Anyone can make add-ons for it. Check out the forums and see if someone can make one..

Very interesting. Can the concert suggestion feature recommend artists who I'm not familiar with? Maybe with some sample music? I'd love to hear about new artists and genres and maybe find something new to like.
