A Firefox for music? No.

Filed under: News — Chris @ 10:25 am

A startup focusing on meta music browsing has taken to free press over at C|NET by muttering the words “Open” “Free” “iTunes” and touting a (er.. in some alternate universe) impressive list of credentials.

Apparently they’ve got a fantasy of combining multiple song services on their “browser-like” interface. Now.. we know it won’t include iTunes, can suppose it won’t include Microsoft, and will assume it won’t include any of the pay-to-play crowd.

The big gimmick in all this is that it’s built on Mozilla and uses an XML interface. Now. to me, that doesn’t have much appeal in and of itself.

So.. what exactly is this bold, new, and freakishly unnecessary creation going to do? Only time can tell.
