The ability to just play music and save bandwidth is a wonderful thing.

This is probably a dumb question but why isn't this a Show HN?

It kind of should be, right?

Thanks a lot graderjs. I don't know very well Hacker News. After I made this post I discovered the Show HN. I prepare a post for it. Thanks

From the Show HN rules:

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with [...]

"play" in this case does not imply that the product should be game or something like that but something that the user can interact with. From the Show HN rules: "On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in their hands. For hardware, you can post a video or detailed article. For books, a sample chapter is ok"

You cannot play with a chapter of a book but it is acceptable. So, the "play" does not used with its exact meaning

I don't think that's an accurate interpretation of the rules.

There have been plenty of Chrome extensions that are Show HNs: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Chrome.google.com+Show+Hn
