The benefit wouldn't be extreme, but I can see how it'd make things slightly easier than following links to other sites.
I don't see how that would be any different than embedding Youtube videos as far as legality is concerned.
Any thoughts?
Edit:
To add on to this, I wonder how feasible it'd be to have the ability to embed a small flash music player in your sig that holds a streaming playlist of your fave tunes that others can click and listen to at any point.

Yeah I just thought it would be good to have some a couple of Robert Plant tracks available to stream on the post & I think it would be better than having links. Never mind anyway.

On last.fm, there is a [track artist=Yes]Close to the Edge[/track] function that would then make close to the edge a clickable link to it's stream. Maybe it's possible to add such last.fm function to the forum with a little php knowledge.
I could have a look into it. I think it's fun anyways.

I understand the piracy issue, what I was saying is that you dismissed my idea as 'obviously' not a good idea whereas piracy issues aside, it would be beneficial to the users of this site. Just forget it anyway man.
