Perhaps it's this.  But if you ask me, if I'm web browsing and I click 
on an MP3 file, i still want an external player to open it.  Ditto for 
images.  Even web sites have kludges via javascript to pop up "Image 
windows".  If web browsers opened a new window for different media 
types, this wouldn't be bad.  Although I'm probably on the minority 
group here.

But, at least on the MP3 file case, who can raise a hand and say they'd 
like to stop their web browsing because a Kaboodle window appeared when 
you clicked on a stream link?
