OSDC.TW[Schedule] Songbird, an Open Source Media Player
Songbird is a web player, integrating a media player with all
the goodness of Mozilla browser technology. Songbird has an entirely
new and unique set of features and APIs that support the burdgeoning
movement to free up media on the web, eliminating those annoying
vertical media silos and allowing users to have more interactive and
rich media experiences with the web. It's mantra is any media on the
web, to any device; and to this aim, Songbird supports an open device
API to support devices such as MTP, and iPod devices.
This session will explore Songbird, its APIs, and existing cool media web mashups that break out beyond the traditional media player fold. We'll show how simple it is to integrate any web service (such as music blogs, music stores, etc.) into Songbird.
By building on top of one of the best and most extensible open source web browsers out there, Songbird has made it easy for web developers to easily integrate their sites into an end user's desktop media player experience. By leveraging extensions composed of simple plain old HTML and Javascript, developers can create awesome media web mashups that extend the user's media player beyond just the desktop. Websites can take advantage of Songbird's remote Webpage API to allow for seamless integration all the way from the website to the desktop media player to the portable music device.
