Is Songbird the media solution Im looking for?

I just discovered this today:

http://www.songbirdnest.com/

It’s called Songbird and I think they’re on to something.  Just admit it:  Our current media situation sucks.  I posted about this previously and ranted about how much I hate most media players.  Anyway, I settled for iTunes, but not because I love it, only because it’s the lesser of other evils (IMHO).

Songbird is taking a different approach to media players, integrating it more closely with the web, and it’s built on top of Firefox, so it’s cross-platform and have rich plugin support.  I’m really looking forward to some of the extensions that will become of this.

It’s based on XUL, which should impress some super-techies out there .   I wonder how nicely this will work with a distributed scenario like iTunes + FolderShare?
