hi my feeling is that video is outside the scope of this AR and that if video is included the AR becomes so generalised and vague as to be useless. there's already a youtube channel AR, isn't there? if that's not seen as adequate for outr YT needs then why not expand or alter that AR? cheers

Not to be picky, but one bit of language seems to remain from the whitelist, or at least, is a little confusing. "free streaming music services" - could 'services' be perhaps changed to 'sites'? The current wording kind of implies that the linked site has to be a service-type site, ala Jamendo/we
