This decision has been blamed on the lack of developers and their inability to continue maintaining Songbird in Linux at the same level as that in Windows and Mac OS X. An active Songbird developer has already forked the Songbird project and <a href=\"http:\/\/digitizor.com\/2010\/04\/07\/nightinagle-a-new-music-player-raises-from-the-ashes-of-songbird\/\" >named it Nightingale<\/a>.
