    I think there might well be a way to post a URL to the YouTube clip where it doesn't expand & embed the actual thing. Let me have a play around as I know I've done it by accident before.

    That would indeed be the ideal answer, tattmeister, as you'd have an uncluttered page AND a quick listening link if wanted. Good thinking there.

    Off to have a play......

    Dreeke, when you say it is "Watch this song I like on youtube please", surely the part about sharing the experience (be it on youtube or not) is what the thread is about. "Here is what i am listening to, i think you may like to hear it as well". If not why are you sharing it on a forum?

    I suppose the question is what you see the purpose of the "What are you listening to?" thread.

    Yes, was going to suggest people use links rather than embedded Youtube clips. Can you not just type in a bit of text, highlight it, click on the 'link' icon, and then paste the Youtube URL into the popup?

    Nicely done - seems there are numerous ways to share but not burden at the same time. Excellent stuff.

    Sorry to be a bit unclear about what I meant.
    But you guys figured it put anyway, that's exactly what I meant to say.

    Oh, and I think I've said this before, but when you're just embedding youtubes without entering titles and artists I generally don't have any idea what you are listening to.

    ^ Well, when it is embedded, the title is across the top of the window, right?

    But yeah - for links... always best to say what/who it is...

    Re embedded links/videos, I'm really in favour of stopping it and just replacing the video with a link. The embedded links crash my iPod. As a result, I don't post in this thread as much as I would like to really.

    I've used something called Flashblock (I think) to stop it on my laptop, but can't use it on my iPod and I mostly use my iPod / iPad.
