You know, playing #music in #emacs is surprisingly good. I thought it was janky and cumbersome at first, but the ability to pause, play, manipulate the audio and have integration with my whole system, including podcasts, is nice. Hence the recent thoughts about the old-fashioned solutions that predate DRM (should I be using Napster?)
@pglpm and emms integrates beautifully with #direh, already one of emacs #KillerApp
