+Songbird is a desktop media player mashed-up with the Web. Songbird is
+committed to playing the music you want, from the sites you want, on the
+devices you want, challenging the conventions of discovery, purchase,
+consumption and organization of music on the Internet.
+
+Songbird is a player and a platform. Like Firefox, Songbird is an open
+source, Open Web project built on the Mozilla platform. Songbird provides
+a public playground for Web media mash-ups by providing developers with
+both desktop and Web APIs, developer resources and fostering Open Web
+media standards, to wit, an Open Media Web.
+
+Note that this is a binary repackaging (much like mozilla-firefox) and
+not compiled from source.
+
+Note: if songbird has problems reloading the media library after
+upgrading, or refuses to scan for media, backup and delete both
+~/.songbird2 and ~/.gstreamer-10 directories.
+
+Songbird requires the following dependencies: gstreamer, liboil,
+gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad,gst-plugins-ugly.
+The build scripts for all these are available at SlackBuilds.org.
