Flash CS3 MP3 Player

Could anyone give me the code for an MP3 player for Flash
CS3?
The back-end actionscript code.
Or could anyone give me a brief tutorial on how to setup an
MP3 Player?

I need this as well. are there any decent simple tutorials
for building a simple "play/pause/volume" mp3 players in cs3?
Thanks!

Flash AIR MP3 Player?

Hello,
I posted this under AIR but had no luck in finding an answer.
I am working with an artist who is releasing a new CD. Is it possible to create an MP3 Player in Flash and distribute it as an AIR app will all songs (say 7-10 tracks) contained in the app?
I believe I read so in Layers Magazine but wasn't sure of the best way to do so. My thinking was he could email the app as a promotional tool. But, I am new to AIR.
Thanks.

Hey Kglad,
Yeah, that is where I am going with this.........my thinking was to create a desktop app for the artist. Users could install it once and we could change hout the tracks. I would have a photo of the artist with some animation, maybe add news, show updates that kind of thing to the app.
I just have no idea how to build that dynamically. Does the code call out to a URL? Would that work.
Also, is your gut that AIR is too much trouble? I thought the intstal/uninstall looked clean in the tests I have done.
There is a newspaper in London that does a great job of doing this. They actually use greenscreen video and a girl gives walks out on your screen and gives you the news updates. Once it's installed, you can click on the icon and get the news updates daily.
Thanks.

Flash-based MP3 player with specified frequency respon

I'm looking into buying a flash-memory based MP3 player. I'm trying to get a quality player that has linear audio output. I am usually listening to Baroque music, both from CDs and from my own recordings. Here are my detailed requirements:
- USB 2.0 hi-speed
- flash memory
- powered by standard batteries (AAA or AA)
- specified frequency response, S/N ratio and THD
For example, on the Zen Nano Plus specifications web page, I read
- Signal to Noise Ratio: up to 90dB
- Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz
- Harmonic Response Output: 0.%
This appears quite weasel-wordy. For example, a S/N ratio of "up to" something says nothing ("I am up to 00 years old"), reasonable wording would be "S/N ratio of at least x dB". The frequency response does not specify the attenuation over the given frequency range, -30dB at 20Hz would not be ruled out. I prefer frequency response charts that show the function "attenuation (dB) over frequency on log scale". For example, those are readily available for many headphones and all reasonable microphones. Further, I can only guess that "Harmonic Response output" means THD. Moreover, there is no data for stereo separation/crosstalk.
Since these data points relate to the headphones output of the MP3 player, measuring them is fairly easy, since no actual sound waves are produced.
Has anyone measured any of the Creative flash products and can post the respecti've charts and data?

Thank you for your answers.
Yes, I'm technically minded (I'm German, in case you think that explains it :-) I just posted hoping for the off-chance that someone was curious enough to have performed some real measurements.
The idea for generating the WAV file would be NOT to try to record a real oscillator, but instead create the WAV file with a PC audio editor where you can say "give me a kHz tone for 0 seconds". You would do this on a log scale from, say 20 Hz to 20 kHz, save as WAV, move the resulting file to the MP3 player, play it, and check the output levels for each frequency. Calculating THD is probably more ambitious, but if your 'scope shows some frequency skew, that would probably be interesting, too. I don't know whether a traditional 'scope has enough amplitude resolution to deal with 90 dB S/N ratio (that's a factor of 30000 between signal and noise floor).
I don't think I can attach files

Flash Drive MP3 Player

Normally use an Ipod Nano. However, now trying to figure how to load songs from iTunes on to an MP3 player that takes the form of a flash drive. It plugs directly into the USB port, and looks like an old iPod shuffle. Copied songs to the flash drive, but cannot get them to play. Is it the format? How do I modify? Thanks.

Are the songs you are copying to the MP3 player in MP3 format? In other words, do you use the default setting of iTunes for importing and so your files are mainly in AAC format and therefore you would need to convert them before you can put them on that other player.
Also, another thing to check is many cheaper/older MP3 players have a limit on the bit rate of the MP3 files they can handle. I know some will only play 128 kbps MP3s. So if you have iTunes import at 160 or 192, while they may be in MP3 format, they may be too high of a bit rate and again need to be converted.
See the specifications of that MP3 player to find out the requirements on the MP3 files it can handle.

Let's get an MP3 player headphone/earbud discussion going

I am shocked to see how little use this little slice of this great forum is. As we all know, the earbuds that typically accompany any stock MP3 player are usually sub-standard, at best. Often they are terrible. Occaisionly they are passable, and once in a blue moon they are great. It always amazes me that MP3 player companies, Creative included, don't realize that they could really push their players over the top by adding a good set of buds. In fact, Sony has just done this. One of their new MP3 players is being shipped with a higher end set of Sony earbuds that typically go for $70 all by themselves. CNET is raving about the player, particulary how it is one of the only players out there that sounds fantastic "out of the box". And now I'm starting to see discussions on the CNET MP3 player forums comparing that particular Sony to the new ZEN with lot's of people leaning to the Sony just because it does not require a new set of buds to really bring out the quality of the music.
Now we all know that a lot of people are clueless when it comes to this aspect. It amazes me the people who will spend $500 on a high-end MP3 player and then not bother to replace the crappy buds that come bundled with it (cough, cough, iPod, cough). If you fall into this category do yourself a favor and go out and try some quality buds or headphones for your MP3 player. You'll be quite astounded how much more you'll enjoy listening to your music. As with any audio device, you'll have to pay for that quality. But quality can be found in everyone's budget. CNET is a great place to start and learn. You'll be happy to know that Creative's Aurvana buds are highly rated in their price category and quite frankly, the next time Creative releases a new higer-end product, say the ZEN 32 GB due out in first quarter 2008 (or so I've read), they would be super smart to include a nice set of these buds with that player even if it means bumping the price a bit and eating some profit.
I recently bought my fifth Creative product, the 16 GB ZEN. It's a great player. Not perfect, but certainly a top contender in the high-cap flash-based MP3 player market. As always, the included buds were passable. So I embarked upon a search for the perfect set of headphones and/or buds in my price range.
I set my price range between $100 and $150. That's a ton of money for some, nothing for others. I was pleasantly surprised with what is out there. Here is what I found, what I tried, what I thought, what I kept, and what went back. I am somewhat limited in my testing by the fact that I pretty much just use Best Buy. While I really don't like the store, the one good thing they have is a 30-day money back return policy. So I can just keep trying headphones and returning them to try others until I find the ones I like.
The first thing I tried was pair of Bose full around ear (AE) TriPort headphones. CNET has called these the poor-man's QuietComfort 2's, a noise-canceling Bose product highly rated by CNET. The TriPorts are great phones, light weight, and great sounding. Best Buy price is$140. Great audio quality and they block out most regular outside noise. The downside, for me at least, is my ears tend to sweat after extended listening. I still have these and will keep them. My daughter liked them so much she's getting a pair for Christmas although she doesn't know it yet. These are better for your ears because they don't pipe music directly into the canal and are less likely to cause any damage to hearing.
The next thing I tried was a set of Bose on ear (OE) TriPorts. These are pretty much the same drivers as the AE's but they sit comfortably on the ear instead of around them. The upside is that they don't sweat as much. Downside is, if you're a woman (or a guy) who wears earrings they can be less comfortable because they press on the earrings. The audio quality is much same, ie: great, as the AE models but not quite as good. The sound isolation is also surprisingly good. I like the design of these phones much better too. They have a single cord design (the AE's have a dual cord) and the cord is modual. I love short cords as I just keep my player in a shirt pocket so a long cord is just a drag, pun intended. The OE models also come with a much nicer, hard case, the AE's just come with a cloth bag. The phones fold up smaller and fit into the case nicely for storage and transport. The real downside to these phones, the price: $180. While the cord design and case are nice touches they really don't (to me anyway) justify the extra $40. That said, I still have these phones too as I like them for work for the short cord. The jury is still out as to whether or not I'll keep them.
Next up I tried the Sure SE210 earbuds, actually ear canal phones. These are pricey at $150 but for Shure products that's actually just a step up from entry level! I thought it would be good to have a nice set of quality buds for those times when I don't want to walk around with headphones on. The Shure's are raved about on CNET. I was not impressed. The sound was just okay and I really don't like things sticking IN my ear canals for long periods of time. It just get's painful for me. The Shure's do come with the 'comfort pack' which has several different styles and sizes of tips to maximize comfort but I just couldn't see them getting enough use to justify the price. They went back.
Next up was the Bose TriPort earbuds. These got a mediocre review over at CNET but I thought since I'd tried the other two in the line I'd give these a go. They are $99 at BB. These are not ear canal phones and are not meant to into the ear and form a tight seal. They sounded very good and were very comfortable. But they just didn't feel stable. I move around at work a lot an they always felt like they were going to fall out and the quality and level of music would change with the movement. They went back.
Last up, the Shure SE110 earbuds. Again, these are ear canal phones meant to go into the ear canal and form a seal for maximum bass and sound. I bought these on a whim. They are $99 at BB. They pretty much sound just like the SE210's to me - I'm not sure what the difference was supposed to be. CNET gives these a decent review and recommends them in their price point range. I tried them at work and was going to take them right back. But I've been unable to get them back for a few days so I tried them again last night. I finally found a set of the 'comfort pack' tips that fit me best, the small rubber ones, and I can wear them for longer periods of time without as much discomfort. And when in the ear with a good seal they sound pretty good, much better than any stock earbud, but not as good as the Bose AE or OE phones.
So the jury is out on these ones. I'm thinking they'll go back. It seems you have to go up to the SE310's to get a really good bud from Shure but that's up around $200 to $250, a bit more than I'll spend for now at least. If I end up taking the SE110's AND the Bose OE TriPort's back than I'd have enough to try out a pair but our BB doesn't sell them so I'd have to find another local or online dealer with a nice return policy. Online sucks because of course you have to send them back and pay shipping. Much easier to just go to a counter!
If you've really got a ton of money, I hear the new Shure SE530's are nothing short of fantasic - or so says CNET. I'd love to try a set but at$450 to $500 a set that's not going happen any time soon. I might just go back to BB and try a bunch of lower end stuff in the $50 to $100 range and see if anything in that price point range blows my mind.
Anyhow, I thought his forum was sadly lacking and thought I'd at least give a good post to get it going. If any of you have done this type of testing, or just have a great set of buds or headphones you use, please share your opinion's here. Let's get this rock rolling down the hill!

Hi methos1979,
This forum has only just been created, all the other forums have been on the board much longer, so we should hopefully see more posts appearing here.
While I appreciate and understand the intention of the thread, this is not a suitable place to discuss non-Creative products. This forum was intended for discussion of Creative headphones, headsets and earphones.

MP3 player with AM and FM tun

It is so annoying not having an AM tuner on my MP3 player. It means that I need to carry a separate radio when I want to listen to AM. It would be nice if Creative came out with a flash memory based MP3 player series that has an AM and FM tuner, uses a AA battery, has a larger display than on the N200, and comes in capacities of 52 meg, one gig, and two gig(with larger capacities to be released later as flash memory prices drop).

The mass market listens to both AM and FM. Sports enthusiasts listen to sports on AM. Others listen to news or talk radio on AM. I am not a sports enthsiast, however I do like listening to news and talk radio on AM. If the FM spectrum was larger, it would be nice if these stations could move to FM, however in large cities the FM band is already crowded. FM is definitely the better technology, although cetain programming(news, talk radio, sports, etc.) isn't available on FM. I also like to sometimes listen to FM radio, as well as my favorite music from my CDs. Eventually when sattelite receivers get much smaller and the monthly fee smaller(or perhaps later there won't be a monthly fee?) then I would like a sattelite radio revei'ver that is also a flash memory MP3 player.

site.
http://www.denmasterstudios.com/portfolio.html
I preview the swf file in flash player on local drive = works
fine
I preview the swf file in dreamweaver cs3 9.0 in the local
files browser window using the "preview in ie explorer" function =
works fine
I preview the swf file in dw in the local files browser
window using the "open with flash player" funtion = blank white

Once I load the swf file into a DW html doc and attempt a
preview locally or online, the following occurs:
Player loads on page, but does not play any songs.
A "undefined - undefined" appears where the song title and
artist name should be.
During the previews in flash player, this does not occur,
only when the file is inserted into an HTML in DW and attempted to
be played.
Here is the xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
<song url="britney.mp3" artist="Denmaster" track="Britney
Style" />
</songs>
Here is the action script code:
class Song

public var artist:String;
public var track:String;
public function Song(e:String, a:String, t:String)
earl = e;
artist = a;
track = t;
Any good eyes out there see anything?
Thanks for your help all!

How do I build a simple MP3 player in Flash?

I have recently redesigned my website and need to make
several mp3 files available for playback. I'm a voiceover talent,
and I need to have my demos readily available to those who visit my
website to hear my work.
I built the site using Dreamweaver (there's a little bit of
Flash content there, but the site itself is not a Flash site). I
know just anough about using Flash to be dangerous. :-) At the
present time, I just embedded my 11 demos on a page, with each demo
appearing TWICE -- once with the Windows Media Player embedded and
once with the Quick Time player embedded -- to allow for maximum
compatibility. But with 22 media players embedded in the page,
well, you can pretty much guess what happens -- the page takes a
freakin' eternity to load. No one's going to wait that long.
In a previous version of my website, I had deployed a
third-party app called Wimpy Button to achieve this functionality
(www.wimpyplayer.com). Wimpy button is a very simple little Flash
app that is designed to achieve precisely the functionality I need.
But now when I launch the Wimpy Button Maker (the first step to
creating the player), I get an error message that I think is
telling me that either a .dll file required by the program is not
there on my computer OR that a program I have since installed on my
computer is either using or has overwritten that .dll file. Either
way, the Wimpy solution is not working for me. So naturally, since
Wimpy was doing all this in Flash, I figured the most logical place
to turn was to Flash itself. I'm hoping to create my own little
playback interface that I can place in multiple instances on the
webpage, with each one set to trigger playback of a different .mp3
file.
Here's an example of something similar to what I'd like to
end up with. Visit
http://randybrown.voice123.com.
There, you'll see a series of players down the right-hand side of
the page, and each one triggers playback of a different .mp3 file.
A closer look at the .swf file can be seen at
http://voice123.com/swf/small_player.swf
, so, as you can see, the graphic itself ain't that complicated. I
know I can build the graphics file (or something similar) without
too much difficulty.
But getting it to have the functionality I need to deploy for
this purpose is where I'm lost. I just don't have enough experience
with Flash to have much of a clue.
Can anyone walk me through the steps involved?
Your thoughtful answer would be MUCH appreciated.
Randy

The best MP3 player I ever found for flash uses xspf
playlists and xml - really cool and easy to use/implement. Check it
at
http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
This player will go through a playlist you determine, or can jump
from track to track. It takes a little bit of testing to set up,
but is much simpler than writing your own player - and it's free.

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.

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.

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

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.
