Comments on: The Weird Case of Qtrax http://medialoper.com/the-weird-case-of-qtrax/ Chasing the long tail of digital media Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:03:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: qtraxisfail http://medialoper.com/the-weird-case-of-qtrax/comment-page-1/#comment-27851 qtraxisfail Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:58:06 +0000 http://www.medialoper.com/hot-topics/music/the-weird-case-of-qtrax/#comment-27851 Stop posting garbage luckybleu all over the internet. They aren't offering millions of songs yet, if ever. Still no global launch at all. After 7 years, Qtrax has contributed squat to the music industry, beyond embarassing itself time and time again with these ridiculous promises, that anyone with a technical degree would be able to tell them that are impossible to keep or that are just plain a waste of time because no one wants it. Qtrax is a failed experiment. Stop posting garbage luckybleu all over the internet. They aren’t offering millions of songs yet, if ever. Still no global launch at all.

Songbird is an open source media player/web browser that can easily be extended (it's built in a similar way as Firefox is). Songbird has been in it's alpha (developer) stage for a while now. But it's stable enough that many people are using it as a stand alone media player. Visit <a href="http://songbirdnest.com/" rel="nofollow">songbirdnest.com</a> if you're interested. Anyway, since it's open source, programmers can distribute customized versions of it for their own purposes. Qtrax has done just that. They've basically just added advertising panes to the default Songbird application, and the ability to play their DRM-protected media. Another note: Songbird isn’t “their” player, really.
