If we can play our own music without having to screw around with alt tabbing and hotkeys and those kinds of things, we'll be more likely to hang out in the game for longer. UT2004 and UT3 had one, among many others.

Used to do this for MMORPG's like Everquest 1 and WoW. Would set either vlc or wmc(for netflix) to always on top and resize it to the size of chatbox. Very doable in window borderless mode. Would be terrible to my performance in tribes tho =/. But in all seriousness you could probably use your favorite mp3 player that you use now and set it to always on top and it would be like an in-game mp3 player. Just resize it and put it where you want and run your game in window borderless mode. Then you wouldn't have to alt tab back and forth. _________________
