since i refered to this topic in another request, i guess i'll also give this one the ol' forum bump! the floating player would (still) be an incredible improvement in the usability of cohost. if it could play any media file, even better, but that's more ambitious--i think playing audio posts would already be fantastic as a start.
cohost with a floating playlist thing that you can just drop stuff from posts into would be TOO powerful . im rly excited that native mp3s are planned now
this would be amazing! Posting audio is a bit of a hassle right now, so any upgrades would be really cool.
I would just like to add my support to this idea; a floating player would be a huge boost to the functionality of audio/music on cohost!
This might be asking cohost to place too much emphasis on audio specifically, but, both in desktop and mobile, the header does have the length, height and at-the-top-stickiness that'd be just right for a (n invisible when not in use) music player
i feel like an (optional?) floating player for any native stuff would be good? (i agree that embeds should be excluded... probably...)
i could see embeds being included but honestly a native music post would be SUPER nice anyway...
one note is that this may need to be limited to a first-class "music post" type (once one exists) rather than any embedded music in general, at least at first.

"it would be so great for music posts if we could have some sort of pop-out/floating player so people can play music while they scroll... see this tweet and this discussion in general! https://twitter.com/chordbug/status/1587920505885323264?s=20&t=yDDpWxprHBFyY14ii5Ku6w"
