I applaud WP for taking a stab at image editing – when this feature matures a bit I think it will also move into the killer category. But for now I think I'll also be suggesting to take the image editing outside of WP. Thanks for the tip on WebResizer…

Jim, I've got nothing for you, other than hopes and dreams. Hope in the form of the Blubrry PowerPress podcasting plugin that I have on deck to test out (http://www.blubrry.com/powerpress/). The other plugin I have to test is the Yahoo Media Player plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yahoo-media-p… I have tested neither in WordPress (although use the Yahoo Media Player quite often in other projects), but I am hoping one of these two will work for audio.

Yes,
This oEmbed feature is awesome, and I am dying to use it. A very good replacement for Anarchy Media player. Now, let me ask you this conundrum I have been carrying around for a while ow, how do you embed audio, or at least allow folks to upload it and get a quick, inline flash player?

Anarchy media Player remains invaluable for that in our environment, and I'm wondering if there are other solutions you have been exploring?

Thanks Clint, oEmbed support is perfect for the users I work with! We've just upgraded to 2.9.2 and I look forward to sharing this feature. I'm disappointed with image editor in WPMU as well. For my first test, I added an image, chose Edit Image, scaled the image, and then inserted into my post. The editor inserted the original, not the scaled image. I'll be encouraging my users to edit their images before adding them to WordPress. WebResizer.com is a favourite for its simplicity for novice users.
