Virb (finally) lets the band play on.

On some social networking and music sites, when you click on a flash music player to listen to a song, you must remain on that page if you want to keep listening. This is pretty annoying because many users want to keep browsing, even as the song continues to play. Virb announced a new feature yesterday that allows users to do just that. If you want to listen to a band's music while continuing to browse elsewhere, just click "open player in new window." That will open a tab or window for the flash music player. And you can continue browsing.

Player pop up

Myspace has offered this functionality for some time, so it's a little weird Virb didn't launch with this feature enabled. Especially so since PureVolume (Virb's sister music-focused site) has had the same feature in its players for quite a while. The sites appear to use the exact same player, so it's not clear why Virb hasn't included it until now. Anyway, it's there now, so happy listening.
