The long awaited development of a portable version of the cross platform music (media) player has now reached the stage of a “Development Test Release”

The Songbird website http://www.getsongbird.com/ describes Songbird as:

The Open Music Player

Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that’s under active development.

We’re working on creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music. There are lots of ways to contribute your time to the project. We’d love your help!

There are several features we’re proud of, but we’ll be the first to admit that others need ironing out, are experimental, or are just plain missing. There’s still a lot to do.

Visit the Songbird site for more details on all the functions, options and Add-ons available for the player.

PortableApps.com has now released the test development release with only the following note:

Release Notes:

Development Test 1 (2008-08-28): Initial release

Enjoy.


 

There are a few comments appended to the post at PortableApps.com but little feedback as yet against this very recent release date of 28 August 2008.

I f you want to give it a try the download link is available at PortableApps.com Songbird Portable 0.7 Development Test 1 the download is 19.3MB and the ”installed” size is 56.2MB.

I haven’t tried it as yet but I have been waiting quite some time for this portable version to see what it will do. I am sure any feedback will be very welcome at PortableApps :)

    Open source is a wonderful thing. I’m always on the look out for new music players. Windows media player is such a drag. Thanks for the download link. And I’m off.

    Open source is the bomb! I never knew what the heck people meant by ‘open source’ until just recently. I am totally new to the whole online world really so I was excited when I found ‘open office’ which is like ‘office 2008′ but it’s free. Thanks for the link I appreciate it.
