I don't see why this is being downvoted. It's fairly apropos to the subject. And it was the first thing I thought of too when I read the title.

  À format that is independent of a specific platform or player has its own merits, besides the scratch your itch part. With a good plugin support an ecosystem to allow interoperability of playlists becomes possible.

    But such player independent formats already exist. This is not a new idea. It's just another format.

    Down voting a point of view that you don't agree with is the same as censoring.

  Because posting Xkcd comics with no further elaboration is a lazy method of grabbing upvotes from the node.js circlejerk^W^W 'hacker' tribe. If that comic was indeed the first thing you thought of, why should you want to have people post a link here? You already know about it, and lots of other people too: I bet a majority of commenters here, because Xkcd isn't at all obscure among all sorts of nerds. If the post contained some further discussion of how the situation described in the comic applies to circumstances at hand, then it would have some value; but then, it wouldn't need to link to Xkcd anyway. As it is, the post is just noise. Besides, that comic is itself an example of lazy writing. I'm pretty sure Munroe wrote it as bait for 'obligatory Xkcd' posters like your parent commenter. Seriously, that meme needs to die. Xkcd has become the new Monty Python: over-referenced to the point of killing all the humour in it.
