Songbird drops Linux support

“The developers of Songbird, the open source and cross platform
media player, have announced they are dropping Linux support. In an
announcement on the company blog, VP of Engineering Georges
Auberger said that “After careful consideration, we’ve come
to the painful conclusion that we should discontinue support for
the Linux version of Songbird”. Auberger cited prioritisation
issues for the small engineering team which have meant that the
Linux version of Songbird has fallen behind the other versions on
Windows and Mac. The company has therefore decided to focus on the
Windows and Mac versions and delivering new features and device
support on those versions.”

Songbird may be resurrected as
Lyrebird
