Current Version: 0.4

Updated: works with FF3

Emusic uses .m3u playlist files to serve up 30 second sample tracks. These usually get sent to an external player like iTunes or Winamp, but that can get annoying. This script replaces the .m3u playlists with an embedded flash player, using an XMLHttpRequest call to get the actual track mp3 url. Based loosely off the del.icio.us playtagger. Currently loads the flash player from slothlovechunk.org - this may move in the future.

This is a good place to test if you haven't used emusic much (click the little speaker icon next to the track title): http://www.emusic.com/dailydownloads/toolbar/main.html
