You’ll need to install necessary plugin for that. In this case I think it’s the one that shows artist’s page on Wikipedia.

I was wondering about your ’store’ screenshot - I’ve got Songbird, yet have never come across a window like this - where is it?

Regardless of the specifics of which company if any makes it or whatever… Songbird seems to kick iTunes’ ass.

Wow… I’d love to switch from iTunes to this…
I’m probably gonna be asking a really dumb question, but… Is there a way to transfer your library from one media player to another without just re-adding every single file? I’ve got almost 2000 songs on iTunes and I reeeeeally don’t feel like having to go through and add them all over again.
Any help would be pretty… ballin.

I’ve recently become a huge fan of freeware, and this seems like a great addition. I wonder if it uses less system power than iTunes?

I didn’t know there was a MP3 player for it. Interesting.

I checked Songbird out a month or two ago… not sure where it is at now, but by the description I think this post came with too many early details that will shroud the bigger picture down the road. I think the “being in early beta” statement should have been made at the beginning of the post not the end.

It does look promising though!

Songbird wasn’t made by Mozilla, as said above, the browser just runs on the same platform as Firefox. Songbird is still in beta stage as far as I know, possibly even Alpha, and has a LOT of work to be done. I personally couldn’t use it until it can do proper tabbed browsing, and can accept and run any Firefox add on. Until then I’m sticking with good old Swiftweasel.
