Surely browsing whilst playing music is ok though. Almost anything
should be able to cope with that.
I don't listen to a lot of music, but you are right, music plays OK,
even with my FF having at least 20 tabs! But video is poor in Ubuntu
using VLC. It was OK in Widows last time I tried using the movie
player that came with it.

My music plays fine but every now and then there's a gap, it happens
infrequently enough to convince you it's corrupt mp3s but it's my
collection from when I used to DJ, I know it's good. When playing video
it doesn't skip but it makes firefox grey out a lot at times.
