I've tried Songbird 0.7.0 on Fedora, since I was looking for a new music player.

I have a couple of challenges that prevent me from using Songbird.

First of all, it does not play nicely with SELinux. I run in permissive mode so Songbird still works, but I have to grant a lot of exceptions in order to avoid warnings. I would like to run in strict mode, but with Songbird that would not be possible. I've filed a bug report with Songbird, but this has not been addressed.

I get most of my music by recording from Internet radio. When I find an artist I like, I'll purchase music from that artist's web site where possible. The downside of this is that my tracks do not have album information. I would like to know the number of songs per artist, but that doesn't seem to be a feature within Songbird.

Songbird seems to be both memory and CPU intensive. Coupled with PulseAudio, this causes sound dropouts. I know, I could get a more powerful machine, but upgrading a system just to handle a music player doesn't seem to be reasonable.

All in all, it's an OK music player. Hopefully the developers will make it lighter weight, and adhere to the SELinux programming recommendations.

I'll give it a try once the next version comes out.
