Songbird Source Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the for-your-patching-pleasure dept.

Rinisari writes "The source for Songbird, a music-oriented XULRunner application, is now available via Subversion. Rob Lord, CEO of Pioneers of the Inevitable, released the source for the not-yet-0.2 version of the music player, which integrates a music library and the facility to purchase and download music from a variety of vendors. If you haven't heard of it, read the features list and try it out. Slashdot previously mentioned Songbird when it was released as a preview in February."

    Well, the AC's right, and you're wrong. Widgets arent native, and programming with the mozilla codebase sucks. There are much better platforms available for developing cross-platform GUI apps. And my-app-runs-within-the-browser! trick isnt new any more- the tide is turning with rich desktop platforms coming out soon. Qt4,Gnome-xgl,WPF-Avalon all offer facilities for creating extremely slick interfaces.
