Open-source player Songbird stops supporting Linux

Article title: open-source player Songbird stops supporting Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The free software player Songbird announced that it would stop supporting Linux. POTI, a developer, said it will focus on developing Windows and Mac versions. The Linux version will be mainly developed by the community and will not provide official support. At present, the Linux version lags behind the Windows and Mac versions.

POTI said they made this painful decision after careful consideration. Many may be surprised that a company that adopts the open-source development model will give up supporting Linux, but POTI only has a small development team to develop Songbird, so they must make a trade-off, invest limited resources in preferred development projects. As more media formats and devices are supported, they must make difficult choices.
