New mp3 Player for Audio Files

One of the cool things we do around Six Apart is a hack day, where our engineers can work on features you've requested. It's a creative way for our team to express themselves, and to address some features we know you'll like, but might not always be part of the core product. Ben's latest effort is one of my recent favorites:

For my hack, I integrated SoundManager 2 (a fantastic javascript library for playing MP3s) with TypePad. When you upload an MP3 file in your posting screen, you'll now get a new option to insert the audio file as either a text link (just like you did before) or using the fancy new audio player. The player renders inline on your blog so that people reading your blog never need to leave.
