free iTunes alternative

If you are looking for a free, open-source, alternative to iTunes, check out Songbird.

Songbird is the Mozilla project (from the people who brought you Firefox). Songbird has most of the functionality that you'd expect from a music player on your computer: you can import/export music, subscribe to podcasts, create playlists, rate song, synchronise playlists, play any format of music (MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA to name a few), runs on any platform, etc.

Like Firefox, Songbird can be extended by anyone. This is one of the things that makes Firefox so powerful, and it promises to make Songbird a true alternative to iTunes. It already has more flexibility than iTunes in regards to buying music. In addition to being able to buy music directly from the iTunes music store, you can buy music from the Amazon and eMusic stores. And more stores are on the way.

If you like checking out the next great thing before everyone else, give Songbird a listen.
