"Remember, you need this player to see the playlist."
Not necessarily; swfdec (or even gnash) might work for Linux users. I haven't tried it, though; the audio hardware on my second-hand laptop slowly died a while ago.
Good tip -- while I've minimized my Microsoft exposure (Open Office, Firefox), I haven't abandoned Windows yet, and don't know much about the Linux universe. When I put the disclaimer on the post, I was just parroting Imeem's preference for Flash 9+.
Thanks!
[I thought I posted approximately this comment before, but it hasn't appeared yet, so I'm trying again. Apologies if it appears twice.]
"I haven't abandoned Windows yet, and don't know much about the Linux universe."
The Ubuntu Linux distribution and its relatives are very easy to install and use these days. You can even install Adobe's Flash player on them, but since Adobe doesn't publish the source code for their player, you can't tell whether or not they're spying on you; that's why I suggested swfdec and gnash.
The gNewSense Linux distribution is based on Ubuntu, so it's generally easy to use, but there are a few bits of missing functionality. The advantage is that it tries very hard to include only software whose source code you're allowed to audit and modify (or employ people to audit and modify).
