Songbird is a desktop Web player and digital jukebox, built from Mozilla (on which the Open Source browser Firefox and mail-client Thunderbird are also based). Developed to run on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, it is available now as a "version 0.2" developer preview. So it is too early to use for people like me. But worth keeping an eye on. (Thanks to Dick Moore for pointing this out.)
I have downloaded the developer release on XP and it is VERY stable. It was able to pull in my Itunes library and already it has extentions to allow web radio that are better than many I have seen.
It's ability to play ACC and its integration with web based audio content potentially make this a killer application.
Well worth keeping an eye on.

I discovered another FireFox related development at the weekend.... FireVox an Open Source screen reader for FireFox 2. Details here: http://www.firevox.clcworld.net/features.html
Installed and tested on XP without a hitch.
