Automatic playlist generator

Alf Eaton, creator of the amazing blam! templating tool, has come out with a playlist generator bookmarklet. Simply drag the bookmarklet link into your links bar (usually in the top-right corner of your IE browser), and surf around till you find a page with lots of mp3 files linked. Then click on the bookmarklet, and you should get a .m3u playlist that applications like Windows Media Player and Winamp can play.

Extra cool: Alf is listing all the playlists created on his site. It looks as if only a handful of playlists have been created, but there is already enough music on there to keep me busy for the rest of the day (right now I'm listening to the KRS playlist I created. And I'm cruising the net looking for the motherlode of O.A.R. mp3s. The O.A.R. Setlist Archive sounds page might be a good candidate).

It's amazing to me that such a simple application wasn't created until now. Very cool.
