Isn't Songbird by a group called Pioneers of the Inevitable and not Mozilla? it's a pretty nice app. I used it couple of times but I still prefer iTunes.
@TechnicolorYawn: yes it syncs to iPod devices.

Just like Firefox, Songbird is community powered, open source, cross platform, and built on the Mozilla stack. There are several ways to help make Songbird better. Check out the Songbird Developer Center where you can find information about the project—how to hack on it, connect with the team, submit code, and create your own add-ons.

I downloaded Songbird once and I didn't like it. I gave it another shot and now I use it a lot. It's cool.

pwn, is there anyway to view just a big list of my artists, then clicking on an artist will bring up songs of theirs that I have? I like Songbird but I love the way WMP does what I just explained.
