In case you missed it, I wrote about my impressions of the web-enabled media player Songbird yesterday. It's really rocking my world and turning me on to the gobs of free music available on the web.

Well, it turns out that it's rocking a few other peoples' worlds as well. They've just secured $1 million in funding, according to Venture Beat:

Songbird, the San Francisco start-up that has made a smart music player that searches and plays music on your desktop and on the Web, has raised about $1 million from Atlas Ventures and big name venture capital firm, Sequoia Capital.

Songbird's parent company, Pioneers of the Inevitable, will use the money to continue cross-platform development while they seek out another round of funding. Go team.
