I'm glad it launches an external application. LaLa.com plays it iside the browser window using Javascript (ick!), with the result that: (1) I can't tell which track of an album it's playing at the moment; (2) there's no way to skip one of the tracks; (3) have the time it simply doesn't work. “The extension eliminates the most annoying (at least to me) feature of the eMusic web site, namely that listening to the 30-second track samples requires launching an external application.”
