Gmail Adds MP3 Player

Google has apparently added an MP3 playing feature to Gmail. So, if someone emails you an mp3 as an attachment, the little google player will come up to allow you to play the sound right from Gmail. Very neat.

You can also embed this player in your website so your visitors can listen to an audio clip right from any page. The embedded player at Gmail calls this URL to play the attached MP3:
http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf?audioUrl=MP3_URL

UPDATE: iSpider goes into more detail on how to embed the player in a website.

    Yup, I guess it’s active for all email accounts. I haven’t tested it out myself, but I assume it’s working all the way around.
