YouTube, Google Video, and several others do it, and the compatability is much much higher. Apple, Linux, Windows, and a plethora of browsers can handle it.

Also, it's still difficult to use Yahoo! Music in Firefox. When I first tried playing a video, the area where the video was supposed to play was blank. I had to search the internet before I found this blog post and then discovered I had to install another plugin. In other words, I wasn't prompted on music.yahoo.com when I first tried playing a video to install the Mozilla ActiveX plugin - I just got a blank space. But I really hope that you switch to Flash, because ActiveX is just a pain, and I'd rather not have to use it within Firefox anyway.

I have to say quicktime is a lot better for content streaming. Windows Media keeps disconnecting alot especially for those on dial up but for those who are on dial up/broadband quicktime "just works". I dont think you will have much luck with windows media player on the mac as it's been discountinued and pretty much has errors on Mac OS X Tiger.

I would have thought the Radio portion would have been ported before the Video portion or, at the very least, at the same time. Great news, Ian, but when will Launch Audio start working for Firefox?
