Actually it's a click, typing in an URL, typing in a search, and then another click. Or you can just post a video so all I have to do is click. Much of the time when I click on a video here, I'm not beating down the door to listen to it; it's just kinda there, I'm kinda interested, and there's nothing between me and my idle curiosity except for a *click*. But if there's no video, and I'm not really familiar with what you're talking about, nine times out of ten I'm not going to care enough to go that far out of my way no matter how well you describe it.

And what are you talking about, "having to 'draw pictures' with a video"? Are you saying that the music actually interferes with your article about the music?
