I tried their first stable release a few weeks ago and it basically just seemed like a bloated foobar2000 with built in Last.FM and Firefox. I don't think I would use all the extra features enough to justify it being somewhat of a memory hog. Plus, it crashed on me a few times. Maybe I'll switch once they work out some of the kinks.

I will admit that being able to use CSS for skins is pretty neat.

I forgot to say that I was running it on Vista. I have no clue how it works with Mac or Linux.

It seems to run pretty smooth on OSX, but the only thing that really sucks is the Coverflow equivalent for Songbird is a janky mess.  But I don't even use Coverflow for iTunes, so meh.

I'm really only using it for flac
