songbird - The desktop media player mashed-up with the Web.
I would just say "Desktop media player mashed-up with the web".
Starting the sentence with "The" makes it sound like the only media
player with these features.
Songbird is a complete desktop media player or "jukebox"
with a uniquely open approach to Internet digital media net-
work services.
Does it support CD playback? If not, then it probably isn't a
"complete" player. Might be better to be a bit more clear about
what features it has. The DESCRIPTION doesn't really tell me what
this program does aside from being a media jukebox.
It seems that the arguments refer to profiles. Might be nice if
the DESCRIPTION defined what a profile does or means.
It isn't really clear to me what the "-no-remote" option does.
-UILocale locale Start with the UI Locale listed:
locale.
-contentLocale locale Start with the content Locale
listed: locale.
I would say "Will use the specified locale with the UI" or "Will
use the specified locale with the content".
-height value Set the height of startup window to
value.
I would say "Specify the height value of the startup window". I
think that is just a bit more clear.
Since Songbird uses GStreamer, I'd think that referring to the fact that
it uses GStreamer in the DESCRIPTION would be nice. I'd also include
gst-std-options(5) in the SEE ALSO section since I assume it supports
the standard GStreamer library options documented here. No?
