Songbird is +committed to playing the music you want, from the sites you want, on the +devices you want, challenging the conventions of discovery, purchase, +consumption and organization of music on the Internet. + +Songbird is a player and a platform. Like Firefox, Songbird is an open +source, Open Web project built on the Mozilla platform. Songbird provides +a public playground for Web media mash-ups by providing developers with +both desktop and Web APIs, developer resources and fostering Open Web +media standards, to wit, an Open Media Web. + +Note that this is a binary repackaging (much like mozilla-firefox) and +not compiled from source. + +Note: if songbird has problems reloading the media library after +upgrading, or refuses to scan for media, backup and delete both +~/.songbird2 and ~/.gstreamer-10 directories. + +Songbird is patched to not require GConf. If you want to use GConf, supply +GCONF=yes on the commandline. (eg GCONF=yes ./Songbird.SlackBuild) + +Songbird requires gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, and gst-plugins-ugly, +to work and play files. The build scripts for all of these are available +at SlackBuilds.org. + |
