Your Best Media Player

So I mentioned Songbird the other day. The problem with this one open-source software is probably there's not enough people using it. It's got a lot better mac support but website-wise, the version-matching and add-on software is a little messed up. And there's some issue with the searching code. Main reason I used it was because I wanted to sort my folders like I mentioned before.

And I also checked out Spotify. Forget ITunes, this one's amazing. But it's still quite new so it doesn't have stuff like various languages (I think). Apparently, there's some update for better software but I have no idea. It lets you stream music from a bunch of your friends whatever they have on their own computer, transfer music to your ipod, and stream really good music. Online, there is some pretty good similar artist search on Spotify.

Heh, for similar artists, I used to go to last.fm all the time. I might actually go search for better ones because what I did started up like many years ago. Man, I really never checked all this stuff out while I was in college. But now that I have free time, I can see all this new stuff, software, and learn more about it.
