Hehe, you misunderstand me. I personally could play with an MP3 player up at the same time but it seems EQ1's player consumes less resources than your average bloatware MP3 player today. I use foobar, which is really light, so I don't really have that problem. But I'm sure other people do. I was just interested in the concept as it would be a nice addon.
Honestly a lot of what SOE does to the game and such is functionality updates, such as adding a browser, streamlining functionality, etc. I see no reason adding an MP3 player shouldn't be classified as working on the game since things like the browser are casually added to updates as well.
As far as Windowed mode I can't be sure. I haven't seen many people play EQ2 IRL so I don't know which is more prominent, windowed or not. But if windowed is more prominent then why did they add a browser instead of making us use our default browser? Obviously they think something for adding that sort of functionality (although honestly the browser in game takes longer to load than my firefox does so it's not a huge upgrade, but I'm sure a light MP3 player would be a lot less strenuous on resources than iTunes, WMP, Winamp, and whatever else most people use that has a lot of stuff that wouldn't be needed in game)
