-=panic! and songbird =-

ok so not a lot going on in terms of free time right now as i've been properly hit by work, i'm fixing 3 companies up with websites at the moment and my 3rd year is killing me, i swear uni is not meant to be this hard. they all seem to think that we know everything, and to be fair, i do. but i seem to have forgotten most of it.

back to the good stuff, i went to see panic at the disco last night and it was amazing, i thought billy talent was good back over summer, but this topped it. There was a huge windmill on stage and dancers all dressed in period clothes. i actually felt like i was in a different time zone. and you know maybe electric guitars should have been invented sooner.

whilst searching for a new mp3 player for my ubuntu machine ages ago i discovered songbird. a new mozilla based itunes rip-off. it hadn't been released back then, but i stumbled across it a couple of days ago, and they have an alpha release for windoze now, so i put it on my xp machine. although being a little buggy, and quite slow to start up (nearly as slow as itunes) i am pretty amazed by it, and am reccomending to everyone ii meet. i love the web function as you can browse 'new music' blogs and it downloads the tracks for you. i've found some pretty cool artists and my taste is becoming more ecletic. If you go for songbird, check out the webcast at www.songbirdnest.com first as it shows you the features.
i'm keeping it as my default player, but im still longing a music player that suits all my needs (i.e. keeps my folders organised, and doesnt add the same song twice.)
