I caught this earlier over on AtariBoy (Link<\/a>) and the more I think about it the more I think it’s relevent to design and 3D content. From the post:<\/p>\n

Earlier today the guys at songbird released 0.1 alpha preview of songbird<\/strong>, the firsthint at what is hopefully gonig to be a great new music player. Its more of a proof of concept model rather than a full program, just to prove to the many doubters that songbird does exist. Its no-where near a finish produce, so you cant do any strict comparisons yet, but so far its looking good, and has a lot of potentional.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I see that there’s also now an interview over on Boing Boing (Link<\/a>) with former Winamp team member and the guy leading this effort, Rob Lord<\/a>. It’s very much worth reading imo. Here’s a few of excerpts:<\/p>\n

Instead of connecting to one locked store full of DRMmed goods, it can connect to any and all available music (and video) on the internet.
\n…
\nSongbird can connect to any a la carte media store — downloadable music, radio, video, P2P networks, and classes of services that haven’t been created yet. Services like iTunes — where everybody has to shop from the same store — are like walled garden online services back in the early days.
\n…
\nAs we say in our FAQ, “We don’t steal music and you shouldn’t either. We support DigitalConsumer.org’s Bill of Rights as the best means to a burgeoning, diverse and lawful digital media market.”
\n…
\nThe possibilities for networked services are totally untapped. For instance, [Winamp co-creator] Justin Frankel created a collaborative jamming service, and you can’t do that inside any commercial media player now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like the jamming functionality. I’ve been wondering when we’ll see a truly virtual band get some attention in the media… any media (not like the Gorillaz<\/a>) . A band comprised of people who meet inside a virtual space, form into a group inside that virtual space, and write\/practice\/perform their music in that virtual space. The Gorillaz don’t cut it afaic.<\/p>\n

And btw, forgive me for asking this rhetorical question, but doesn’t that interactive jamming functionality sound a lot like PLM?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
