I want my embedded MTV

MTV soft launched their MTV videos site making it an easy place to view and embed your favorite music videos. I have been waiting for a site like this to highlight music videos from yesteryear and also find a better way to embed the videos without the possibility of them being taken down.

The player is easy to use but the embed codes are a little hidden on the lower left of every video. Similar to the usability of the HULU player – which seems to be becoming the standard on the web (if you do not count youtube) – it provides simple navigation and a great full screen mode.

A great implementation for the music streaming sites out there would be to actually snag video from MTV and play it while listening to last.fm or Pandora or others.
