Comment on How should I link to music so that anyone can open it?

The pro-point for youtube is that it is embeddable in most social networks and website engines, so if you post it to your blog or chat it’d play within the page or app without coming to another resource.

The I permanent nature of YouTube and other host sites, such as photo bucket and forum reformats, has drastically changed how I comment. I try to type all the pertinent details instead of dropping a link alone, hoping to future-proof the info by giving readers the info required to use a search engine to find it if the link breaks

Clever. Didn’t thought about that.

Corrected a type that flips the meaning, though I’m guessing people identified it. “impermanent”
