This is a new player for Windows called Songbird. Recognize the layout?
It seems that they copied iTunes — and there are even links to music stores like Amazon in the player. A wild guess is that it works, and is intended for players other than the iPod.

it seemes that you forgot how to spelle.
“but OURS goes to eleven…”
Linkspammers are now the spelling police. How cute.
On topic, the iTunes interface is widely imitated. Look at Linotype’s FontExplorer X: they don’t hide the fact that they are trying to be “iTunes for fonts.”
I like how they explain how long it took to ‘design’. You mean to ‘design like itunes’? What a rip.
oh man, now i’m a “link spammer!” actually, i just typed the first thing that popped into my head in the url box, because a lot of these sites *require* stupid stuff like that.
in reality, i was genuinely curious as to why the spelling was so bad. leander has always seemed very conscientious about stuff like that, so why the abrupt change? it was like his blog got hijacked or something.
the entry was invisible for awhile, and now here it is back again, with the spelling corrected. very strange.

My english sucks and all my articles shall go through leander before they are published, this one was a mistake :)
Apple has patents on the iTunes UI.. how long until they’re gobbled up by the cupertino clockwork?
How is this a “windows” app?
It is Gecko based, (well XULRunner based) just like Firefox. Is intended to work under Linux, Windows and OSX.
And I imagine if some idiotic thing like a UI layout is patented, they can simply change the UI. It is only XML, after all.
I think it is pretty cool if it delivers, will allow connecting multiple media sources more easily than iTunes, and in a cross-platform fashion.
I just got my 2000t and all of my songs are skipping in iTunes, and I cant figure out why. If someone could help me out and tell me how to fix this I would really appreciate it because its driving me crazy. Thanks for the replys.
