Default New Music Player (iTunes Killer?)

For those that love iTunes, but hate the DRM stuff that comes along with it, there is a new music player available for you to download. Brought to you by some of the people involved in the Firefox project. Keep in mind, I think this is a really early release (0.1.0), don't expect it to work flawlessly.

The website is here:
http://www.songbirdnest.com/
But has been down pretty much all day.

Boing Boing has a story (with screen shots) on their site here:

Where does th content come from? Is there such a thing as un-DRM'd music files available for download?

I can't see how this would be any better than grey-market sites like allofmp3.

I use foobar, but this looks very nice for a .010 release. Some pretty nice features, and even looks like it has slimserver support. I'll probably try it for a while.
