I don't care what its called, but if they tie it to amazon and support a laundry list of codecs (flac in particular), then they could have a really kick-ass player.

Although I personally think they should call it 'Rick James's Music Crack Pipe'.

Google allready has it hands on Adobe Reader as apart of its google install Pack.

And if its adobe AIR this is good news for Pandora, and its Desktop app.

in spirit of its "chrome " name i think the media player will be called Google "Vinyl" or Google "Listen"

WTF?? Game changer?? It's a bloody media player! If you OS _doesn't_ have one it's a pointless pile of crap.

OOoooooo Google is making a thing that plays music. People suck.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/If you put on a media player though then what else do you have to put on? Pretty soon you have a dumbed down version of Windows for less, admittedly, but without the maturity. Personally, I would have preferred some awesome Google cloud media service.

Yeah, it's probably going to be a Flash application on a local web page.

Chrome is so *yawn*.

VLC FTW!]]>Jan 22nd 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/leave something for others.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/

Android tablets are already here anyway.

I expect Google to develop a new ui especially for tablets that will run on top of the Android operating system. We probably won't see a shipping product with the new Google Android tablet UI until Q4.
Chrome OS will never gain mainstream appeal, it will simply replace most of the linux distros in today's netbooks.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/
For example, I use windows 7. It does everything I want it to do and more.SO if Google wants me to switch they have to offer something really beneficial to me.

What i'm confused about is, Google want everything to be cloudy. then Android doesnt make sense?

Maybe 5-6 years down the line they will fuse together?
Chromedroid?

Who knows? Buts its all good news for us consumers! more choices, better pricing, and much faster development. If it was still only M$, I guarantee we would still be using Windows ME!]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/2.1 saw a huge improvement in Android's Gallery app; where's the love for the music player?]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/Jan 22nd 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/google-devs-reveal-chrome-os-will-have-media-player/
