Thanks Manu Couldn't get it to work on FF2 seemed to be something to do
with the RDFa hAudio stuff :(
Anyway, I hacked the script and removed all the RDFa specific script and
for cleanliness, also removed any proprietary linking stuff the stripped
version can be found here:
http://darkstarserver.co.uk/scripts/haudio.js

also being a little Impatient (you know me) I hacked together a
haudio-item script, based on the original haudio script, with extra
actions such as bookmarking the Item with Firefox. The good thing about
the item script is that It hooks hReview, and hListing Items too.
the script can be downloaded from here:
http://darkstarserver.co.uk/scripts/haudio-item.js

the intresting thing is it works without relying on the hAudio script
being installed so good thing eh?


Thanks

Have Fun
