Songbird is a feature-rich iTunes-like media manager and player with easy-to-navigate media library and a long list of supported devices. Like iTunes, the program supports audio, video, and photo sync, and can import or export to or from iTunes. The program supports a long list of devices, audio formats, and skins to change the look and feel.

The program supports folder watch, dynamic playlists, album artwork, gapless playback, equalizer, etc. Includes an integrated web browser (Firefox) and works with internet radio sources. Optional add-ons are available to extend features with several default and downloadable tools including CD-rip, concert look-up for artists, lyrics, music store and both Quicktime (if installed) and Windows Media Video formats.

Songbird Portable is a portable version of the standard program. Clients available for Mac and many Android devices.

Additional note: the program appears to freeze when asked to scan directories with more than around 100 gigs of music.

I was one of the many people begging for Songbird Portable back when it was just a "hatchling". I believe it took 1-2 years before an official portable version was made -- by that time Foobar2000 became my inseparable best mate. Sure Songbird is the new kid on the block and Speed, memory and no itunes support will probably be it's Achilles heal, but it has a lot of potential through add-ons and it's web support.

As I dislike PA.com launchers myself, I went looking around for alternatives and found SongChick (for more info, see http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=60297#p60297).

MyLib v0.93

This is a really heavy duty catalog program that uses its own custom database design to store catalogs. The website claims that this will produce small catalog sizes no greater than a couple of hundred kilobytes but I did find that a catalog of 1.6GB of data from a portable hard drive produced a catalog of approximately 900KB. Catalog size gripes aside, this really is a great program with lots of well thought out options. For starters the search capabilities are much more comprehensive then Catfish or MaxLister, with the ability to search for file types (e.g. audio, media, text file types etc.), the ability to search for files of certain sizes and of course the filename containing a certain string. MyLib even has a "borrowers" feature that lets you record who has borrowed any given disc from your collection.
