If you've ever had the urge to do some birdwatching, keep an eye on this one. From the creators of Winamp and the Yahoo! Music store comes Songbird, an open source project that I'm sure will be big.

It's a music player, organizer, mixer and what have you that looks a bit like iTunes from the screenshots. But where Winamp and iTunes support video playback, from what I it looks like so far there are no plans to do so in Songbird. It appears the coders are trying to it do one thing and do one thing well... making the best free and cross-platform music player possible.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet this project will go far and make a big impact.

Oh ya... I shouldn't forget to mention that I first read about Songbird on the MAKE: blog.
