Previously, I was using iWebTunes which is a link that can play the music embeded in my Blog. Yesterday, I found this article. After read it, I deleted the code instantly from my template. Specially for blog's user...aware this !
If you are a blogger using the iWebTunes service you should know you are placing code into your site that not only plays music on your site but pulls installs for multiple spyware and adware files.
Check the javascript link you are given in the code snippet and you will see the URLs to such sites as searchmiracle.com (EliteBar).
iwebtunes works with an advertising network called BUDS Inc., who proudly promote ActiveX as a method of choice for installation because as they say they cannot be blocked.
Just another example of how nothing in life is free.
It appears that the iWebTunes.com website is now defunct. There apparently is a sister site up now called iWebMusic.com. They are the same company using the exact same tactics.

The XPSF player have a very nice quality, but because it link to MP3, that's why it lag, it play mp3 file, which might be several MB in size. but one thing is good because u no need to have any storage, hehe! any way, when u find anything better, just let me know la~
