Running Winamp in the background only becomes a hassle and takes up power. Someone should make a music player client side for SL.

It was like reading a different languate. Rewind to 1994 and say, "Hey, I just got a domain name and a website, hosted on a really secure server, with my e-mail already set up, two gigs of space and a guestbook," and imagine the look on your roommates face. That's how confused I am right now. I am old. This interweb thing confuses me. My website sucks because of it. Damnit, Eric I have never felt as old as I do right now, having just read that.

Thanks for trying out our player even with the frustrating limitation of SL. With the new "voice beta" we are already thinking about how we can hijack that feature so that people can walk around with essentially a boombox - i think its going to get noisy fast in the metaverse, for better or for worse. @Spiff: I think you missed the fact that in virtual worlds everything happens as a shared experience, so that all your friends/avatars who are hanging out with you also hear the same music at the same time. You can also "share the remote" so to speak and allow people to control the track thats playing and so on. Even more, i think its really about ego and expression - I am psyched that I can now "wear" Jonathan's playlist around (even when i am not on my own land), and people will see what songs are on it, can click on the player, etc and link out...so its like wearing a t-shirt, but since its a virtual world you can (and should) do something more than just wear a t-shirt. @Aspera Eponym: we at Cruxy would be more than happy to host a JoCo dance party - get in touch with me in SL and we round up the kids for some fun: Nat Mandelbrot Jonathan – you rock.

Especially since you're sitting in front of your computer and can just listen to your *actual* mp3 player (iTunes or whatever) while you do your virtual whatever-it-is-you're-doing. I'm afraid I'm going to have to assign a much lower Excellence Quotient to this new feature than you have. ;) What would you be doing on your virtual land where you’d want to sit around and listen to an in-game mp3 player?
