I think no skin looks better than the one that integrates well with the rest of the OS (perhaps the reason why OS X is considered the best looking). But, I do hope that you don't mean a faux native feel. Meaning, that I hope that there isn't just feathers that are skinned to look like Aero, or Finder, or Gnome. For example, I hope that suppose someone changes their visual style, or windowblinds skin, or GTK theme - that Songbird will also change it's appearance to match. If that can happen, Songbird will definitely rule out any other players as far as I'm concerned (and I'm willing to bet a lot of others). Keep up the fine work :) That sounds good.

The whole point of feathers in Songbird is that they also allow you to use native look and feel as well as define your own. :) We did start with the latter but it's our hope to also have a native look and feel feather available. I have no timeline for that native feather though, apologies. @Diggie

But one question. Why, oh why, does every audio player have to have it's own fully skinned interface? Why not just make it use the resources from the current style of the operating system? (see window borders, buttons, headers, ect.) iTunes is guilty, WinAmp is guilty, Songbird is guilty. That's the one reason why I don't even play music on my computer as it is. If you make the player more integrated and unified with the user's taste in his/her's current style (the default OS theme or a custom one, instead of Apple's) then you will have a winner. (And don't even bring up "Feathers") Nice player and I’m sure you guys have a lot on the table as far as development.

They are really nice and answer questions fast and accurate. :-) @amau: The documentation is on the Songbird-Wiki:

Nice song. However, it's impossible to search for "songbird" How come? That's a weird bug. I dunno if you guys have heard Oasis with Songbird. Nice song.

And why are the footprints at its front AND back? But it's farting as usual, so i guess it is alright... PS: Is the songbird walking backwards? And why are the footprints at its front AND back?
