Yahoo's New Flash Player (Webjay Transformed)

I was looking at one of my old embedded Webjay playlists today and came across this...



Obviously, Yahoo has some new ideas on how they are going to leverage Webjay into the rest of their music offerings. And while the front door of Webjay says they are closed, you can deep link back into the rest of the site - I got to one of my old Webjay playlists here. The version that was surfaced to me had a SHOUTcast station URL in it. It will be interesting to see what's next....

My guess is a new playlist sharing site more deeply integrated into Yahoo music, where they leverage/support XSPF playlists of free-range MP3s and then link them back to Yahoo Music pages to generate incremental page views. Ian?
