[wp-hackers] wimpy player AND a possible solution?

[Jason goldsmith]

That sounds about right to me. I think video can come later as it gets
messy (which format, which player, etc)

I think the player should also have a "full" mode and a simple, small
mode, so that you could for example embed the music you are listening
to into a post like in my LivePress plugin you could have Current
Music: Fallen -Evansence [play it] or something and be able to play
the song right there, but you wouldn't want much more than a play and
stop button.
