RockYou is cool, and it's great you now use legal music tracks with those slide shows. Just wanted to add, though, that www.sonific.com has been doing this for over 9 months, and is now supplying music widgets to over 42 platforms on the web, including Wordpress, Google, Blogger, Typepad, Slideroll, Friendster, Freewebs, Piczo, SmugMug and many others, see http://sonific.com/home/supported_sites. We are just adding another 100.000 tracks of great indie repertoire (includes V2 Records, Nettwerk, Ninja Tunes, and many strong catalogs supplied by IODA, IRIS, DRA etc) so.... there is that, too! And we will make a major announcement in about 10 days, btw ;)
