When you say "itunes plug-in" do you mean a Firefox add-on specific to the Amazon MP3 store? Or perhaps an AppleScript on OS X?<br><br>Recall that iTunes doesn't support plug-ins to other stores. Or subscription services. Or radio services. Or video services. Or social networking services that incorporates music, video, movies, etc. Or recommendation services. Or locker services. Etc. <br><br>Moreover, iTunes doesn't support your non-Apple mobile handset. Or your non-Apple portable MP3 player. Or your non-Apple home LAN setup. Or run on Linux. <br><br>These are some of the reasons for and needs met by Songbird. <br><br>More to come. :)<br><br>RobRob LordThu, 04 Oct 2007 18:52:20 -0000
