The release of Songbird 0.7 RC2 is a good reason to reconsider your choice of media player. Still, Songbird might outplay iTunes and other defunct or bloated players like Winamp, Media Monkey et al. Why? Because it is easily extensible, much faster than any previous version and much shinier sporting the new Gonzo feathers. On top of that, it now comes with album art display, smart playlists, last.fm support (Yay!) and so much more. If Winamp, iTunes and co get on your nerves, just give it a go. I am already using Songbird for a few days now without any problems or flaws.
