New Gmail Player at pasteler0
Google’s Gmail just made one nice update. Now it has a mp3 player built-in. So now when you receiver a .mp3 file in your email, you can listen to it before download. This is very useful for those who send/receive a lot of mp3.
Please DIGG!

Thanks Imageshack

The player:

Thanks Imageshack

Another Cool Observation:
You can use the player to play any mp3 on the internet, by using the code:

https://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf?audioUrl=

Example:

https://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf?audioUrl=http://ovelha.org/pasteler0/files/TSMB.mp3

and it will look like this

If you would like to insert this player to your website just add this code:
Gplayer.txt

I hadn’t run acrossed this one yet, and I think it’s a cool little feature.  I can see them also adding support for video clips (video email) with their existing video player.  The author here meantioned using it in concert with a a persons gmail-drive… but Just having it there for the occasional voicemail.  I wonder if this is related to how the google talk added a voice message feature.
