Yahoo! Media Player with HTML playlist

With the release of the Yahoo! Media Player there is a bit on an evolution of the XSPF playlist format into pure HTML...I wonder if this means that XSPF is abandoned by users and developers...Not that it was actively used anyway...sure Yahoo! and a few other websites like MusicDNS use it but the big music players like iTunes, WMP, Winamp still use m3u or their proprietary formats.

Camilo Sesto - Melina

Still, it is an elegant implementation as I just drop in a little javascript from Yahoo and then add anchor tag poining to a song...like Camilo's old ditty...( a little buggy as it produces some drawing issues with Movable Type 4 as you can see on the bottom of this page).
