The Sonific Sidebar Widget

Sonific WidgetPuzzled? My continued blog experimentation and discussions continues with a look at another of the sidebar widgets provided in the WordPress.com hosted service -I’ve added the Sonific tool to the blog’s sidebar, as illustrated.

I’ve registered with the Sonific service and chosen a song which can be played using the Sonific widget.
Discussion

Why would one want to add a music-playing widget to a blog’s sidebar? And what are the possible problems and implications in doing this? In particular what are the broader implications which may be relevant to those considering the deployment of a large-scale blogging service? These are some of the issues I’d like to discuss.

I like the idea of using a widget in the sidebar, but don't like the idea of having it play just one song. If there was a way to incorporate recommendation technology into Sonific and then have the widget play songs that reflect my individual music tastes, it would be very hot. I like exploring Sonific for new music, but it would be fun to just be able to hit play on my blog and let the music play in the background while I surf the net, instead of having to keep coming back and choosing which songs I want to explore.
