It rules. As for the eMusic plugin, it's mainly just speed. I don't know if it's the plugin or Songbird generally, but browsing eMusic is very slow. I usually click on a page and then head elsewhere, letting it load in the background. Still a hugely useful bit of software though. Thanks so much for The Hype Machine plugin, Erik, I’m a big fan.

I've just posted a Hype Machine plug in for Songbird (http://addons.songbirdnest.com/extensions/detail/33). What eMusic plug in issues do you have? I might be able to fix them.

Because without much of a community, there's not much cross-pollination going on with tags and what not. I use it on the wii, because it's the ONLY one that seems to work on the wii. The nice thing for me, as long as our wii is connected to the downstairs a/v system, is that I'm just a few remote control button clicks away from reasonable music, compared to having to hook the computer up to the stereo ... but this is mainly me being a cheap-ass. I could listen to my beloved radioparadise easier if I just bought an airport express and hooked that up to the a/v system ... finetune is not ONLY for the wii, but I don’t think I’d use it anywhere BUT the wii.

On the wii. Pandora and last.fm still don't work quite right on the wii, but finetune.com actually has a wii-specific web facing. Not much of a community, so the cross-pollination effects haven't kicked in, and getting favorites / tags, etc set up is ... wonky. But it's easier than connecting the old iBook to the stereo, bring up iTunes, and going to radioparadise or woxy. I’ve started using finetune.com for listening at home. On the wii.
