<div dir="ltr">I'm also a Pandora fan, and I actually thought of another use. In addition to popping out a separate player, Pandora also opens new tabs/windows to browse pages about artists/songs. These pages allow you to listen to samples, but listening to them does not pause the player. It would be pretty cool to use a shared worker to be able to tell the main player to pause if another window plays a sample and then resume when the sample completes. I don't know if this example actually contributes to the discussion, but it seemed like a cool idea :)<br>
