Embedding lyrics & artist info into eJukebox

I was thinking that it would be nice if the information that eJukebox requests from Allmusic.com (& Allposters as well) could be embedded into eJukebox rather than having a separate internet browser come up. This would give eJukebox the appearance of an "all knowing" app & a more cohesive & professional appearance. Please take a look at Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9. They provide several pages of song lyrics & artist info & reviews which has the appearance of being housed with the player. I can't remember what company they use to provide the information, but it's listed on the pages when you view them.

I think the intelligent jukebox/media player scene is going to explode soon & I'd like eJukebox to remain the leader in this category. If Microsoft's starting to get in the game, you know that they think that this is an untapped market for huge potential.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

You can already load web links in eJukebox! There is an option to do this among the display options.

Very cool!!! Thanks Pirk! I could barely read the option in the menu (with an s-video connection), so it was easy for me to read.

The allmusic site looks pretty cool embedded, but I did run into a problem with the allposters site. Check out the description of the error in the Bug forum.

Thanks,
Steve
