Not the same old song and dance

I had read all the announcements about the new Yahoo! Media Player and I didn't quite get what the buzz was about. After all, we've been playing around with the same basic player on the Yahoo! Music site, and we already had a widget to play music from music blogs. Old news, right?
It's totally a different thing to see it in the wild. Check out Aurgasm, for instance. According to the instructions on the box, it's a snap to set up, and, well...it's just damn cool. In case you don't want to read the fine print, you include a line of JS in a page that has links to MP3's, and it automatically sets up play buttons by each song and a central playlist/player that follows you around the page. An awesome central playlist/player. Color me impressed.
