i suggest posting the minimum requirements for the mp3 samples on the site too otherwise it's just frustrating to hunt down for a comment on this site for those users who really want their music on your site. I'm guessing it may have deterred a few people who didnt bother to come find the answer by looking at the above mentioned comment.

use media-convert.com to edit your mp3 samples everyone...free and online

Webcam somehow enabled in a "drag me" environment where it is not supposed to occur

Been awhile...I somehow stumbled across a weird bug via facebook that sometimes occurs...
You know for some sites, there's embeddable media that shouldn't go into Juice but does if dragged i.e. flash games, ?webcam?

My facebook search for a person was just like any other, I misclicked and dragged a "drag me" box that appeared on the page and inside Juice's interface it is called "Facebook | Search: (somename)" ...It alarmed me that somehow, Juice enabled my built in webcam and I currently see myself where the embeddable media is supposed to be...

would this idea not theoretically cause errors for embedded videos playing?

Great addition to firefox

quickly becoming one of my extensively used plug-ins...Stumbled across the plug-in one day and decided to give it a shot

I mainly use it for playlist making during the school break and i can say that it'll come in handy for complicated engineering concepts when I restart school

False negative with "We're sorry, this video is no longer available"

embedded videos from youtube stop playing in Juice under this scenario:

I've prepped up a playlist and after an extended period of time, had a screensaver w/ pw for a bit, idled, some videos give the faulty " We're sorry, this video is no longer available. ",

Removing the video from Juice's playlist then re-adding it from youtube solves it bc in actuality, the video is still available...

Quick scroll Juice's options?

Perhaps far-fetched but it seems capable in like a Mac OS X environment. Remember those remotes that came with Macs? As you can prolly tell, I heavily use Juice for playlists lol but i digress...

I'm using a Mac 10.4.10 build version 8R4061a, the + could be up, the - could be down, the |<< and >>| could switch windows, the >|| could be confirm selection...

I know you're going to say it's going to interfere with ' iTunes ' so umm make it conditional that MENU is held before buttons are pressed?

maybe compromise with keyboard combinations that'll do the equivalent of what I said above and scroll through Juice's sidebar like the tab key?

Search not fully implements google's search capability

lol me again... I'm doing one of the google search using special parameters...

I searched " define:bug " and Juice's rendering of google search is different from the actual google rendering of it...Juice's rendering of the proper google usage of the search is non-existent

Disabled for embed videos not embedding in Juice

Youtube and sites with similar options wont allow videos 'disabled for embed' to play within Juice...I don't think much could be done but hmm

my uneducated two cents
I once got a 'disabled for embed' video from youtube via a ff extension (flashgot i think) hardcopy so would an incorporation of ?flashgot? into a makeshift media player be viable to then be dragged into Juice? and possibly store said technology on a web server whose maintenance cleanup could get rid of these temp vids?

lol I'm an engineer to be, i question everything or make things unnecessarily complicated lol

autoplay for sequential videos? like playlists

video starting after immediately or 1-3 second delay after the other ends...sometimes we find good music on youtube and like to to get a playlist playing for parties/personal enjoyment
