“Nearly three months after the last update, the Songbird
developers have released version 1.8.0 of their open source media
player, code named “Orbital”. According to Songbird Senior Product
Manager Rand Fitzpatrick, the latest stable release of the
cross-platform media player includes a number of performance
improvements and new features, such as support for USB mass storage
device class (also known as USB MSC or UMS) on Mac OS X
systems.

“Songbird 1.8.0 on Mac OS X 10.6. Vergrößern Support
for USB MSC synchronisation comes in the form of an updated MSC
device support add-on that enables Mac OS X users to manage media
on an external USB device, such as a USB flash drive.”
