I completely missed this one but for those of you that also don’t know, Songbird have released a minor update to their quality Firefox based music player (available here). This would appear to be a much more stable version and they have eliminated the problem with the player continuing to play after right clicking and closing from the taskbar. Updates include;
- Prefs page from mozilla with browser settings
- Some UI fixes
- M4A playback (oops)
- Faster metadata scanning
- More file types (flac/wav)
- Slurping through <embed>
Nivi has also released a screencast for those wanting a walkthrough of some of the features available in the player. It serves as a great tutorial and, as Nivi states; it is also does a good job of demonstrating the technology and potential of the player.
