Is Songbird the media solution Im looking for?

I just discovered this today:
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?
