prison break

time to break free of Windows Media Player and iTunes.

Get Songbird

an open source love child of Mozilla and WinAmp, Songbird seems poised to be a solid alternative to those media players (WMP needs a bunch of codecs to play other formats while iTunes is notoriously sticking with their own). right out of the box, this beta 0.5 version already plays the high res .MKV files, something you can't do with WMP. this will still be buggy, but so what. i hope they keep plugging away until they get it right.

as i switched to Firefox/Thunderbird 4 years ago and never looked back, this looks like another road of no return (for me).
