Songbird

Looking to create an open source iTunes killer, Songbird is an application being developed by the startup company Pioneers of the Inevitable. They are building Songbird on the Firefox browser engine and are hoping their open source media player will start to eat away at the iTunes market share much like Firefox has been doing to Internet Explorer’s share.

For this project, I was the senior web consultant, helping Songbird to update their previous Drupal 4.6 site to 4.7, along with fixing a broken database as a result of crash (it was restored from a binary file… yeah I know, it did suck!). Additionally, I helped fixed some general design and theming issues, with a sprinkling of CSS tips in there too.
