I have 2GB of RAM and don't seem to see a memory problem (yet). Maybe it's because I don't really do uploading and downloading while playing. By the way, if I was to spend time using eclipse to make some improvements on the media player, how would I go about widely publicizing/sharing my improvements and new features to other users. To illustrate, how did this LW contributor that incorporated the media player get his contribution embedded in the presumably open source download. Sorry I am new but I really want to incorporate some cool ideas I have.
