This is probably the wrong place to ask, but this post seems to get a lot of notice. How hard would it be to pump out a Songbird Lite? Something on the simplicity scale of Winamp. Just a small playlist, using minimal resources. I'd settle for that over an old version of Songbird or a new, user-created, unsupported version. Just a suggestion :)

I mean, I know what you guys at Mozilla is doing is free and all for us, but it would just be nice to have... something. iTunes eats my system resources and Safari can't run flash to save its digital life. I thought I finally found something awesome -- and yes, what you made is pretty awesome. Yet to my surprise, I'm running an old, buggy, unsupported version of your awesome app.
So what happened between 0.6.1 and 0.7.0? Did your Mac team of developers decide to call it quits because they want to play with Boot Camp and Spaces? If I could afford one of those new Intel-based Macs, I'd buy it up in a heart beat. Ohh they're so nice... But, I can't. And the computer I have now (iMac G5 ALS) works great, even after three years with no hardware upgrades.
So basically, how many people do we need for our PPC numbers to stop taking a dip? C'mon, don't throw in the towel yet :)

Songbird 0.7.0 for Mac OSX for PowerPCI'd like to see the newer version of Songbird (0.7.0) available for Mac OSX PPC and not just Intel-based Macs. I don't wanna be stuck with 0.6.1 forever.
