Hmmm, Amarok or Songbird
For a long time, I’ve been using Amarok for my music player at both work and home. Since I switched my desktop at home back to CentOS from Fedora, though, I haven’t found an easy way to get Amarok installed back on it. I’ve been playing around with Songbirg tonight though, and I’m pretty impressed. I think I might have found my new music player. Installation is a breeze, because there’s nothing to compile. Just unzip, use, and enjoy.
Songbird is built on Mozilla technology and code, but it’s not one of Mozilla’s products. The reason I like it so far from what I see is because it has a similar menu and preference structure as Thunderbird and Firefox has. They have add-ons which can be easily installed, and it seems pretty fast. Since I already use Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird, it’s easy to navigate around the menus if you already use Mozilla like products.
Check it out if you’re looking for a new music player. I just might have to switch from Amarok…no offense to Amarok. Amarok is an awesome and powerful music player, but, it’s a pita to get it installed on CentOS.
