  • Songbird – The Open Music Player

    Posted on May 3rd, 2009 admin 54 comments

    Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that’s under active development.

    We’re working on creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music. There are lots of ways to contribute your time to the project. We’d love your help!

    There are several features we’re proud of, but we’ll be the first to admit that others need ironing out, are experimental, or are just plain missing. There’s still a lot to do.

    UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks because of in-place decompression.

    What’s New in version 3.03:

    • implement cache flushing for PowerPC (esp. model 440)
    • fix cache flushing on MIPS (>3 MiB compressed, or with holes)
    • fix MIPS big-endian
    • bug fixes
