	Despite the simplicity of the inline play buttons (which I love!), I find myself clicking on the link text, which of course uses the browser's default player.

-	The flyout happens to obscure important text on the page, that might not have been noticed yet. I realize the flyout can be minimized, but visual clue is so minimal, the user might not notice.

-	Traditionally \|< and >\| buttons go to the beginning and end of the selection. These go to the preceding and next items in the playlist. If that's the point, I believe the convention is instead to say "Previous" and "Next". (In this situation, you could use "Prev", but it is sometimes interpreted as "preview.")	+	Traditionally \|< and >\| buttons go to the beginning and end of the selection.

	The volume button is easily overlooked by new users, which is ironic. Since play can be stopped and started at the link, the volume button is the #1 need in the console (we've all clicked something with our sound too high). There should be a speaker icon.

	Ability to play one selection (preferably set by me, not my visitor), then stop. Not everyone wants to hear everything on the page. My visitors may find it confusing or annoying, and if they're satisfied with what they hear in the first clip, there's no reason to encourage hearing the next. (A good salesman knows when to stop talking.) If there's already a way to configure this, I've missed it.		Ability to play one selection (preferably set by me, not my visitor), then stop.

-	An <a> tag parameter disabling YMP for that particular link. I want to offer visitors the option of using their browser's own player without (a) sending them to a different page or (b) scads of JavaScript conditionals (which I'm still working on, so I'm not even sure it's possible.). Unfortunately, I know no way to put the "...mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js..." line inside an If statement. One kluge I will try is to put "class='htrack" inside an obscure dummy link, so omitting it from all other links will cause them to be ignored. Even if that works, there must be something better.	+	An <a> tag parameter disabling YMP for that particular link.

	Apparently using CSS style code to hide a link also hides it from YMP. This could be used as the switch requested above, except that's the situation where I want the link text to appear.

-	Ability to suppress Yahoo Search. I am grateful that YMP is free, but it costs me if visitors are distracted from the content at my site. Besides, the search is often meaningless (if someone is listening to a car commercial I wrote, why would they want to search for "cars"?). That makes us both look kind of lame (and I sure don't want them searching for other "car commercial's!). I currently minimize the impact by 1. putting nothing between the <a> tags (putting the title text outside them) while 2. using only a space for the <a> tag's title parameter. The resulting big blank space is another thing that makes YMP look rough at the edges. I would be pleased to have my title text there, but non-linked.	+	Ability to suppress Yahoo Search.
