Songbird
Man, I can’t wait until the RIAA and its pack of lawyers are gone. It shouldn’t take much longer. Right now, they are like the horse lobbyists screaming the wrongness of the automobile circa 1910.
Today’s FamilyFirst pick lets you enjoy music with no worries about sleazy RIAA goons spying on you viewing you as potential litigant material. It’s called Songbird. What they do is make a music player that is free for the asking and plays on Linux, OS, and Windows (if you’re still using THAT operating system ;-).
Here’s the mission of this enthusiastic, happy outfit:
Songbird is developed by a band of experienced, dedicated software developers and designers called the Pioneers of the Inevitable. Our previous hatchlings include Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine. We support the Mozilla Foundation’s mission to preserve innovation and choice on the Internet. Our mission is to incubate Songbird, the first Web player, to catalyze and champion a diverse, open Media Web. To this end, our investors include one of the top Silicon Valley venture capital firms. We don’t steal music and you shouldn’t either. We support DigitalConsumer.org’s Bill of Rights as the best means to a burgeoning, diverse and lawful digital media market.
So forget about things like lawyers, obscenely rich middlemen, and grandmotherly defendants. Instead, just download this freebie and ENJOY!
