Here are some commands to get and run the latest songbird release candidate:
wget http://download.songbirdnest.com/installer/linux/i686/Songbird_0.3_linux-i686.tar.gz
tar xvfz Songbird_0.3_linux-i686.tar.gz
cd Songbird
./songbird
From there, create a launcher for the panel with these settings:
name: Songbird
command: /home/mike/Songbird/songbird (REPLACE mike with your username)
Icon: Download your favorite from here

Doesn't work for me, I installed it fine but when I run it nothing happens.
you run it in the terminal, and what happens?
I changed the permissions by following
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/songbird
but I still have to run the "songbird" command as su. Like this "sudo songbird". Do you have any idea what needs su for this to run?
cd to the Songbird_20071027 directory and sudo chmod -R a+rx xulrunner fixed it for me
Hey, sorry to change the topic, but what dashboard do you have installed. The quick launch icons at the bottom of the screens.
thats avant window navigator
Pity, this only works when run under root, and its not really in the cards for me to run an alpha piece of software as root.
When running as a normal user, I get the following error:
"Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
Any tips?
im sorry, the root issue seems to be something I overlooked. If you just download the file and extract it and run the file named songbird. Ill go over my process again, and make some changes.
Bada-bing, bada-boom! It works! Thanks!
