Songbird 1.0 RC1 now available
So what's new in the latest build? First up, Songbird 1.0 RC1 uses GStreamer to handle media playback whether you're running the Windows, Mac, or Linux version of the program.

- Users can also drag and drop images to add album art to a song.
- Addition of new keyboard shortcuts
- Smart Playlists can be used as rules within other Smart Playlists
- Improved search speed
- Faster startup times
- Scrolling large libraries is more efficient
