Songbird Portable

Songbird Portable is a program that can do more than play music files; it can scan the entire digital music library and help you synchronize all the tracks. Thus, you can always listen to your favorite songs.

The app comes with a nice, well-structured interface. Here, you can find both the music player, the playlist and the quick links to the main features, such as music, videos, downloads, Internet radio stations, devices and services.

You can organize the entire collection in any way you want. For example, your music files can be filtered by genre, artist or album title. ID3 tags can also be edited. All you need to do is choose “View Metadata” from the right-click menu and fill in the required details, such as song title, artist and album name, composer, music genre, rating, album artwork and so on.

The app can import audio and video files from the computer and keep track of any changes in the input directory. Songbird Portable can detect any new files and add them to the Library automatically.

When you get tired of the songs on your computer, there are dozens of Internet radio stations available. In order to filter through the long list, you can select a music genre or enter part of the station’s name.

Default directories, hotkeys, playback settings and a few radio streaming filters can be adjusted from the “Options” menu. Several encryption protocols can be selected after connecting to the Songbird media servers. The software supports add-ons, which can be installed or disabled from the same settings area.

Songbird Portable can run from a USB flash drive or any other portable device.

The fact of the matter is that Songbird Portable is an advanced music player, with a bunch of extra features that you can find appealing. Figuring out all that the app can do can take some time, thanks of the extended list of options.
