MP3 Playlist in Sidebar

Thanks to Amy pointing me to Oddsock.org’s DoSomething plugin many, many moons ago …

… and Mark’s intervention to make me move away from MusicMatch after all these many years

… and a little CSS-fu [dangit, I had to go and make that all !important just to make it work, proving that, again, I'm stupid] …

… I now have an automagically-updating MP3 playlist in my sidebar.

What a lot of work for a stupid geegaw.

[You can say that about so many things in my life that it's not particularly funny.]

    Imagine that, eh? ;)
    I still tend to listen by album. I didn’t with MMJB, but I have a hard time coming up with playlists on my own. I’m searching for good Winamp plugins / playlist managers now.

    And yes, Mark, I could use iTunes. Just shut it.

    Talk About Focus
    I just realized, thanks to my happy sidebar, that I went about 45 minutes with my office in silence.

    This is not the way I work. I almost always have to have music. When your brain works as mine does—it needs to multi-task—something like backg…

    Disappointed with TiVo Home Media Music Streaming
    When I first got my TiVo, I declined the Home Media option. I wasn’t even sure that I’d like the product, so I didn’t want to invest $50—or whatever the fee was then—more on a product I was unsure I’d use. That indecision paid off; while I re…

    Display a “Now Playing” List on Your RMFO-Blog with WinAMP
    A few people have asked me how I configured things to get an MP3 playlist in my sidebar. I figure that it’s worth explaining once here in a tutorial.

    First, let me note some parameters:

    I accomplish this with a copy of WinAMP [version 5, to …
