Sun's MP3 codec is bundled with OpenSolaris/Solaris, right? Sorry if it's a kinda dumb question, I don't do like any media at all with OpenSolaris when I use it. Main reason is that I want a player for video podcast and music, with m4a, mp3, ogg vorbis/theora support, and Rhythmbox just falls flat on delivering that. How does Songbird fair for my requirements?
