This player is a great first step; I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves (hope a progress bar with FF/RWD capability is somewhere on the feature list!). Andrei Ian,

I totally agree with the realization that kiddies aren't going to drop XSPF XML in to their pages. It provides a solid, easily controllable, visual layout as well - cake, and score on the KISS approach. Question: What about Dave Winer's <a href="http://www.opml.org/" rel="nofollow">OPML</a>? That kind of a list system is simple and becoming the defacto way of transporting RSS feeds (and a lot of other lists, including playlists). We've been looking at it for audiobook playlists and table-of-contents at iofy with success. I'm not arguing it to be a best, or even good, pick, but am curious if it was on the radar during the playlist planning. Nice, keep it up!

Thanks for the heads up on that one. ian Hi Landtuna,

Even if it's not going to work in Opera, you should set the MIME type right so that browsers download the MP3s rather than handling them as text.
