Embedding a flash mp3 player?

Hi,
I'm trying to embed a flash mp3 player in my iweb site. I don't want people to be able to download the files, just listen to them, so Flash seems to be the way to go.
Can anyone recommend a resource for learning how to do this? I've found the Flash player that I want to use, I know how to insert the HTML snippet in iweb and have the code. But all the instructions I read reference SWF files, XML files, etc and I don't know what any of that is. I just want a juke box style flash player on a couple of my pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

If you want to play the songs and sell them you can use Snocap - otherwise you can use Esnips...

You upload your song files to their site and all you do is copy and paste the HTML in to a snippet box.

Setting up Simple Flash mp3 Player

I have a page with some links to mp3 songs.
I would like to set things up so that when user clicks a mp3 link, a small flash mp3 player (embedded in the page) starts playing with that songs. The user could click on another song that would replace the last one at any time and have basic controls.
- flash mp3 player - need 1 that has start / stop and volume buttons (simple)
BTW: I set this type of thing up in the past with a frameset - top had quicktime player embedded - and bottom song links went to top frame - all was fine but kind of bulky.... looking for something a bit slicker...
Also would like to do the same for flash / quicktime videos
Also if there's something free or close to free that is a jukebox type where the song list is part of flash - that might be fun too....
Thanks in advance - dave

Flash mp3 player HELP!!!

i am tying to add a flash mp3 player to my blog posts to have samples of the scores on each page using this:
http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/embed-a-free-flash-mp3-player-on-your-blog/
the code i have is this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="170"
data="http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/MusicPlayerExample/xspfplayer.swf?playlisturl=http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/MusicPlayerExample/playlist.xspf">
<param name="movie"

</object>
i am tying to get it in the blank empty space on the right above the track listing and to the right of the cover as seen here:
http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/CreditsBlog/Entries/2010/4/1_Die_Jagd_nach_der_heiligen_Lanze_-_OriginalScore.html
as you can see i can only get the player to show up on the left anywhere form the top to the bottom.
please help me in getting it in that empty space mentioned above, thank you and take care!

You should paste the object code in a HTML Snippet.
All your songs and playlist should be in the MusicPlayerExample folder.
And then test that all performs as it should.
If you do that you have no problems.
But you pasted the code in the HTML page itself after publishing. If you do you have to check the path to all the files.
You would have found that there is no file here :
http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/Credits_Blog/Entries/2010/4/swfobject. js
Rule of thumb : Keep custom stuff out of the Site folder iWeb creates.
I pasted your code in a HTML Snippet and 3 demo MP3s played in the flashplayer. So no problem there.

Flash mp3 player volume click

Hello,
I have a flash mp3 player i created with actionscript with a volume slider,

Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player? I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash. I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.ogg" />

</audio>

Flash Mp3 Player with 15 sec preview

Hello,
I in desperate need of some guidance. I am trying to make
flash mp3 player that radomly plays mp3's from a specific folder
for only 30 secs.
Any idea's ??
thanks
DK

if you just want to check the time when your app starts, use:
function playSong(mySong:Number):void{
var myTitle = my_songs[mySong].@TITLE;
var myArtist = my_songs[mySong].@ARTIST;
var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
title_txt.text = myTitle;
artist_txt.text = myArtist;
if (my_channel){
my_channel.stop();
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.load(new URLRequest(myURL));
my_channel = my_sound.play();
my_channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onNext);
    var myTime = new Date();
    var myHour:Number = myTime.getHours();
var st:SoundTransform=my_channel.soundTransform;
   if ((myhour>=10)&&(myhour<=(22)){
st.volume=1;
} else {
st.volume=0;
my_channel.soundTransform=st;

Flash MP3 player with AM and FM rad

Why is it that the only MP3 players I see with AM and FM are CD based? Some people have a great desire to listen to AM radio for sporting events, news, or talk radio. It is so annoying for me to have to carry a separate radio with my n200 so that I can have my music as well as AM radio. The funny thing is that I listen to AM radio much more than FM. I usually like to either listen to my music or to AM radio. I also have an MP3 cd player with AM and FM, however that is even larger than both the n200 plus a small separate radio. Since I don't want to constantly swap the earphones from the n200 to the radio and back, I am also carrying two sets of earphones.
My ideal flash mp3 player would be
) At least 4 gigs
2) have both AM and FM radio
3) Run on a AA battery.
AA batteries hold 2.5 times the power of a AAA yet are often lower in price.
4) have a decent sized display.
5) Have a separate button that with one press switches from mp3 music to the radio or back.
6) Supports subscription music
7) has a built in clock with the time constantly displayed, even when the player is off.
While such a player would be slightly larger than the Nano Plus, it would be so much more functional.. There are still some who want the smallest possible player so I wouldn't want to see such a player replace the Nano Plus, however it would be nice if such a player would replace the TX FM which is too similar to the Nano Plus(who really cares whether the USB plug is on the player itself?).

I think the reason you don't see AM radios in 00% digital products (such as MP3 players) is not enough demand to tackle two significant technical issues:
The ferrite-coil antennas used by most portable AM radios take up a lot of room on circuit boards; some MP3 players are too small for them, while others simply can't give up valuable circuit-board real estate for a feature used by so few people. OTOH, most portable FM radios use the headphone cord as an antenna, so they can be smaller.</LI>
AM frequencies and channel spacing vary around the world in ways that make a "one size fits all" digital solution very hard to implement. The US AM band runs from 535-705 kHz with 0-kHz spacing (540, 550, ... , 700); in other parts of the world it still runs from 535-605 kHz, and/or uses 9-kHz spacing which is incompatible. OTOH, nearly all major countries, except Japan, have adopted FM bands in the 87.5 (88 in the US) to 08 MHz range, and all spacing schemes are multiples of the narrowest one, 50 kHz (it's 00 kHz in most countries, 200 kHz in the US), so a digital FM tuner covering 87.5-08 MHz with 50-kHz spacing will work everywhere but Japan.</LI>
Also, digital-radio considerations in the US may inhibit the sale of new AM radios here. The US digital-radio standard is an IBOC (in-band, on-channel) system, where the analog and digital broadcasts share the same frequency and signal. Though this is supposed to allow simultaneous analog and digital broadcasts as long as broadcasters want them (unlike DAB systems in other countries and digital TV even in the US, where the digital signal is separate and broadcasters must eventually give up their analog spectrum), even IBOC broadcasters will eventually go all-digital. Since the bandwidth of digital AM is so limited (at present it only promises "FM quality" while digital FM promises "CD quality") and digital limits analog sound quality (especially on AM where it's poor to begin with), it's likely AM will want to go 00% digital long before FM does. Limiting analog AM radios now makes it easier for AM to make that painful transition.

Creative's flash MP3 player strat

I don't understand Creative's strategy in the flash MP3 player market. The n200, v200, Muvo Mix and Muvo tx fm seem too similar. I like the idea of leaving out the radio, line in and mic on some models to lower the cost, however leaving off the display is imo a great mistake(I could do without the backlight though). How about more di'versity in the flash player offerings? How about a slightly larger player that takes a AA battery and has both an AM and FM tuner? How about a flash memory based player with 2 gigs of storage(Have the 28 meg players all been phased out? Perhaps soon the 256 meg players should be phased out?)

From a business perspecti've Creative have to tally all of these bugs against resource and impact. If the bug is small, unlikely to be found and/or doesn't affect many users, chances are they won't fix it. It may irritate the hell out of a small group of users, but that's business unfortunately, particularly in large companies.

Flash mp3 player doesn't scale when page zoomed

It's possible there is nothing I can do to fix this, but wanted your expert advice. Thanks for looking at this. Gary
I have installed a mp3 player on my site from dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer
It looks fine when I pull it up in a browser:
But when I zoom the page (control-alt-scroll) the player remains the same size and does not scale with the page.
It does scale correctly if you are minimizing the window (ie: clicking the top right minimize box on the browser).
Here is the html:
div id="column2Right">
<h3 id="firstTopic">Featured Song</h3>
<div id="albumArtShadow"><img src="images/album art/carly1.jpg" width="150" height="150" border="0"></div>

<div id="dewPlayerRcolumn">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="dewplayer-mini.swf" width="195" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer">
<param name="movie" value="dewplayer.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="mp3=mp3s/carlyAllyse_somday.mp3" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</div>

<div id="column2SongInfo">Carly Allyse<br />Someday</div>
Here is the CSS
#column2Right #dewPlayerRcolumn {
    padding: 0px;
    height: 20px;
    width: 195px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: -5px;

I have the same issue, and it is a browser issue. Like you mentioned, Chrome and Internet Explorer scale all Flash content properly. I have tried Firefox, Nightly, and Cyberfox (Firefox-based) and they all have the same problem. It isn't a dealbreaker for me right now but it is very annoying and I'd love it if the developers at Mozilla could look into fixing it (possibly in collaboration with Adobe). Also, even using the Flash beta (version 16) doesn't work.

Flash Mp3 player auto loads files from folder

I'm making a website from flash 8 that can include an mp3
player that will create a playlist from files within a specified
folder. As mp3 files are uploaded i hope the player will auto
update the list.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can get a list of files in a folder using PHP, and send
the results back
to Flash.

Telling my flash mp3 player to get its song list from an xml file

Hello,
What do I need to put in my code to tell my mp3 player to grab its songs from a folder on my server via an xml doc I outputted from my sql server? (the mp3 player is also on the server).
Thanks in advance!
Here's my code thus far:
Heres my code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var myMusic:Sound = new Sound();
var soundFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lpwfte.mp3");
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(100);
var songPosition:Number = 0;
var myContext:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(5000);
myMusic.load(soundFile, myContext);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);
buttonPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);
btnStop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StopMusic);
sldVolume.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, ChangeVolume);
myMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getSongLength);
btnPause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseMusic);
function pauseMusic(evt:MouseEvent):void
songPosition = channel.position;
channel.stop();
function convertTime(millis:Number):String
var Minutes:Number = ( millis % (1000*60*60)) / (1000 * 60);
var Seconds:Number = ((millis % (1000*60*60)) % (1000 * 60)) /1000;
if(Minutes < 10)
var displayMinutes:String = "0" + Math.floor(Minutes);
}else
var displayMinutes:String = Math.floor(Minutes).toString();
if(Seconds < 10)
var displaySeconds:String = "0" + Math.floor(Seconds);
}else
var displaySeconds:String = Math.floor(Seconds).toString();
return displayMinutes + ":" + displaySeconds;
//return (Math.floor(Minutes) + ":" + Math.floor(Seconds));
function updateTime(evt:TimerEvent):void
lblSongTime.text = convertTime(channel.position);
function getSongLength(evt:Event):void
lblSongTotalTime.text = convertTime(myMusic.length);
lblSongName.text = myMusic.id3.songName;
lblSongArtist.text = myMusic.id3.artist;
lblSongYear.text = myMusic.id3.year;
function ChangeVolume(evt:SliderEvent):void
sTransform.volume = sldVolume.value;
channel.soundTransform = sTransform;
function StopMusic(evt:MouseEvent):void
channel.stop();
songPosition = 0;
function playMusic(evt:MouseEvent):void
channel = myMusic.play(songPosition);
myTimer.start();

Search Google for a tutorial using terms like "AS3 XML tutorial". ANy one of them should show you the code you need to parse the xml data into variables you can use in your code for your mp3 URLRequest value.

Flash MP3 Player shows update in other browser but NOT Safari

Hi
I am working with a Dreamweaver Document with Flash component inserted into the layout. One of the Flash Components is a MP3 player. The player is configured using javascript and refers to a file named "config.html"
This file contains the actual mp3 information (name, title, location on server,etc).
When this info is updated, the new songs "been here.mp3, etc." appear to be updated in other browsers but NOT Safari. Safari continues to read the original "config.html" instead of reading the new update version of "config.html.
How can this happen, is there a phantom version of the original "config.html" that I do not see? How can I get it to load the new songs instead of the old ones? Is the problem within my Prefences?
Thanks for your help!
Her is the Link:
