I've had a quick download and play with it. I'm on a Mac, so if an application closes when you press the close button it's really annoying. Songbird does this

  Yeah. The rule for Macs, I think, is that your app only should close if the window is inextricably linked to the function. iPhoto, for instance, where the window lets you look at pictures and modify photos, and that stuff happens instantly when you're looking at the window. When you close it, it means you're done using it. With a music player, you should be able to close the window and still have the music play: the app is linked to the music, in other words, and not the window. Similarly, if I stop the music and close the window, it shouldn't close, because music being stopped is just as much a function of a music player as is music being played.

  Songbird is based off of Mozilla's XUL platform. So looking like a skinned version of Firefox is expected.
