Nightingale Media Player Preview Released 79
First time accepted submitter ilikenwf writes "You may or may not remember the Mozilla-based Songbird media player, which dropped official Linux support in April, 2010. Since then, the Nightingale community fork has waxed and waned in terms of membership and progress, but thanks to having a completely new dev team has today produced a preview build based on Songbird 1.8.1. The team promises a release of a Songbird trunk based build later this year, with fixes and an upgrade to Gecko 6. Plans to support Linux, Windows, and Mac are in the works, with the preview builds being available only for Linux and Windows at the moment. Aside from trying to pull in refugees from the Songbird community, Nightingale wants more developers to aid in fixing dropped and broken features from Songbird — and to add new ones."

What I want to know is why a media player needs a web browser engine (Gecko 6) in it.

Same could be said for email. It adds nothing but bloat. I am an intelligent person, I can read. I don't need some fancy formatting. Forums are the same. Give me access to newsgroups and my client can format it the way I want to. No one else needs to define the look for me.
looks puzzlingly at the HTML used in the previous comment
