Iweb disabling music player?

Hi All --
have used iweb 09 for a basic band website since last year -all has been fine.
I updated the site last night, and it seems the musicplayer (reverbnation) @ the top of the page wont respond / wont play.
www.bmonsterband.com
i can rollover the buttons & links and get a colour change, but no joy w/ response. I'd be grateful if anyone could test frm a Mac w/ firefox - I've updated the flash & firefox... but not iweb...yet am on iweb 09 version 3.0. I'm using the same ISP as before.
the same embedded player works fine @ the myspace page, so i'm thinking the prob is w/ iweb? or a new conflict between the twitter/ustream widgets.
cant think why there's no response from the player this time around..... hmm
many thanks in adv for any help or info--
John

You have an object overlapping the left half of the ReverbNation widget. Either move the widget to the front or remove the overlapping object. You can see what I mean by typing Command+A while viewing the page.

Looking for 'music player' widget to play songs dragged onto iWeb page

Has anyone found a 'music player' widget that can be embedded into an iWeb page, and that can then load and play the songs that have been dragged onto that page?
I have found several such widgets that can scan a URL for mp3 files, and I have successfully embedded each of those widgets into an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet, but none of them could find the mp3 files that I dragged onto the page, even though I supplied the widget with the URL for that page.

Wyodor, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a lot of fun with the WimpyPlayer, and I like the skin you sent me. Thank you so much.
I've been playing around with it. I had to reduce the height of the widget to fit on my webpage, but when I did, the text became too small to read, so instead, I went into the skin's jpeg and cut out the midsection of the playlist area. Then I had to readjust the playlist's number of lines displayed and its slider size to fit. I also changed the color scheme to match my webpage, and some of the Help tags. All in all, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
The one feature I miss from when I was using iWeb's built-in QuickTime player is the ability to have a photo (such as an album cover) displayed with the music. Do you happen to know of any music players that enable you to attach a photo with each track or album?

Off Topic - Web music player that will work on an iPad / iWeb

After a bunch of other googling I figure someone on this forum would know the answer.
I'm looking for a way to embed a playlist into a iWeb page so it will play on the iPad/iPhone browser. Certainly I'm not the only person who wants to do this --- but I haven't had any luck figuring it out.
Helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Bug: music player volume disabled when navigating ...

First of all, again, much kudos to Nokia for releasing free voice navigation!!
One feature I like a lot about the navigation function is that I can listen to music (e.g. while cycling) and still get voice directions. However I've experienced the following bug with Maps v3.03 10wk01 b05 and Music Player (firmware v40.0.5): when voice navigation is on, I cannot change the volume of the music player any more. In other words, when the Maps application is in the foreground, acting on the volume rocker will adjust the volume of voice navigation, as expected. However, when Maps is in the background and the music player is in the foreground, acting on the volume rocker has no effect (not even on the navigation voice volume).
Not sure this is a bug of Maps, but it looks like having navigation on disables volume control on the music player.
Does this happen to you too?

On my E71 I cannot separately control the volume for Music Player and Maps. This is an annoyance when driving with the Bluetooth connection to the car stereo.

IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

Hi,
I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
For example,
I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

Embedding music player?

So... I've searched the forum and seen a few suggestions on embedding a music player into your iWeb, but none seem to work. I am some what familiar with HTML and am certain the code I am inserting into my website is correct, but I cannot seem to get a player up and running. The actual player shows up fine, but it cannot find my playlists. I have tried using both xspf and xml type playlists and players, but still have not luck getting this to work. I understand iWeb is what it is- and is not meant to be a full blown web design program - but with the HTML snippet, my code should work and isn't.
Does anyone out there have a working mp3 player on their website? I do not want to have the files linked or playing in the background. I am specifically looking to get a player working. Is this just not an option for iWeb? Any ideas or suggestions? All feedback is appreciated!

Example of a working mp3 player using an html snippet in iWeb 2 http://www.rickiekirman.com/site1/Resting_Soul.html
Here's instructions for a basic player setup - http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/stu/ahanley/music/help.htm
If you search the web you will find many more!!
Note: you will need to manually put the music and playlist files on your web server

Turn off landscape mode on the music player

Hello,
Is there away to keep the music player on the iphone from switching to landscape mode? The slightest movement switches it to landscape mode and I can't see the progress bar. (important for my mp3s which are several hours).
I've been all over the settings, so i'm assuming I can't, but I'd thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

Sorry, you can't disable landscape mode. You can send feedback to Apple here... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Itunes won't play any cd i put in the drive (macbook pro). I am running paralells with windows 7 and have disables media player so that didn't help

itunes won't recognize/play/import any cd i put in the drive. I am also running paralells with windows 7 and have disabled media player. any suggestions?

I have the same problem.
On launch itunes works fine.
If I let it play through a full album of songs unatended, when I return it respondes, but will not play music. I can browse my collection, but when i click the play button, press the space bar with a track selected or double cclick a track it will not play. A restart of iTunes solves the problem temporarily.

IOS music player audio gets paused when switching to AIR app

Hi,
iOS default music player's audio gets paused automatically whenever I switch to an AIR app. Is there a way to keep it playing?

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red.

E72 Optical Key seems to make the Music Player use...

... given that if you go anywhere near it, it jumps towards the start of the track. However, if you disable it, then you can't focus the camera. Any workarounds?
And while we're on the topic of the Music Player, I find it pretty bad that you can't exit out of the application and then have it pick up playing where you left off. I don't mean let it keep going in the background - I mean actually leave the Music Player. This seems like pretty basic functionality. Makes listening to podcasts on the phone very tedious. Am I missing something? Is there a way to pick up where you left off?

I suppose I've been spoilt by having a previous phone with dedicated music player buttons. I wish there was a way to have this on the E72 although I realise that media playing isn't the focus of the phone.
As for autofocus with the optical key off - I know that you can still take the photo, but you can't pre-focus and then decide not to take the photo at all. Maybe not a biggie but still an annoyance.
Sometimes the optical key creates more problems than it solves. As I've said in another post, I'm pretty sure it's responsible for moving the cursor in Maps without any input at all.

How to turn off the music player on 4s

Hi Everyone, need your help with the Music player on 4s - I haven't been using iMusic until now, always just streaming music from Grooveshark or radio apps. A few days ago I downloaded one song from the iStore and now this happens - when I connect my iPhone to the Media system in my car, with Bluetooth, the music player takes control and all I can hear is this one song I have on the my iPhone. Whenever I try to switch to another music app (streaming radio), it plays for 2 secs and then player comes back. I can't turn that off. If I hit the pause button on the phone, it simply goes to mute and when I adjust the volume back, I get the same song again. How do I disable this music player? I don't know if it's the iPhone or the car system thing, but I couldn't find any option to stop the player from being the default.
If anybody had the same problem, please advise.
Thank you

To close the Music App double-click the Home button and swipe up on the screen image of Music (in iOS 7).

Lock Screen Music Player Issues

Here is the deal:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no solution (as of yet). I am hoping someone can guide me in the event there is.
I carry my iPhone in my front pocket like many people. I don't carry anything other than the phone in that pocket other than the headphones. Yet somehow, almost daily, the music player starts while the phone is in my pocket. If I manage to hear it, despite the surrounding noise and whether the headphones are plugged in, I can usually turn it off and save the battery. However, in many instances, I have pulled my phone out to find that the player has run the battery into the ground. After doing some general research, I have found that this significant problem is not limited to me.
Now I understand that generally, to activate the music player you have to press the home button twice and then tap play on the music player. However, day after day the player starts. I am certain that when the phone goes into the pocket, I press the button on top of the phone placing it in Sleep mode. Regardless of what I do - nothing seems to work and it is my understanding that there is no setting from Apple to disable the music player.
Therefore, I believe my options are limited to the following and hopefully someone can confirm my understanding or offer better solutions:
1.     I can remove every song from my IPhone. Without music, there is nothing to play. Granted it defeats one of the key features of my $600 device;
2.     I can jailbreak the iPhone and rely on the thoughtful functions created by third parties outside of Apple who have thought this process through; or
3.     I can buy a competitive device that is not simply a phone built around a media player.
Frankly, at the end of the day, how is this functionality not a safety hazard? If I am stranded somewhere with no phone battery because Apple decide not to give me an option to turn off the "lock screen" music player function - I would go so far as argue that this is Apple's own negligence. A "lock screen" by definition should LOCK THE SCREEN. This should not be a "lock screen" with certain Apple exceptions. At the very least, Apple should give the owner the ability to determine whether this information is accessible from the outside screen.
Even worse, assume that I have confidential business memos stored in the music player (this is where it stores them). What if my phone was found by a competitor who decided to listen to the memo that I have on my phone - based on the current function, there would be nothing to stop them? Or what if a child finds a phone and the music library contains explicit lyrics. Is there nothing to stop the child from accessing these. I cannot believe that the genuses at Apple did not have the foresight to think of these potential issues with the function - therefore, I believe that there must be a solution and I am not seeing it.
Can anyone help?

I do have a passcode - as I mentioned I am using a LOCK SCREEN which is the password protected screen. My point was that audio memos (like voice memos) are stored as audio files in the music player. They are accessible through the standard lock screen music controls on the iPhone. It makes no difference whether you have the screen locked/unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, there is no setting to turn off those controls which would be the ultimate solution to my problem.
I purposefully don't save such memos becuase I know that anyone can access them.
I am more concerned with the player turning itself on, daily.

Music player widgit with shuffle

i'm looking for a flash music player widgit that does the following:
1) will shuffle songs, so that everytime someone visits my page with the player, the exact same song doesn't kick in.
2) music will automatically start when you go to the page.
I have been using Nimbit's software widget as flash music player for my home page (folks can also purchase songs in the player). However, the fact that I can't reorder tracks without spending time making a whole new project for sale, or shuffle the songs is driving me nuts.
I've searched this iWeb message board, and found a variety of flash player widgets, but it is not clear if any of these shuffle tunes in the way I am desiring (i.e. new song from playlist with each visit).
Thanks in advance.

The enhanced version of the JW player should be able to handled shuffle by adding - &shuffle=1 - into the code. I haven't tried it in this mode.
The player has a user selectable shuffle button also.
See...

... where I am illustrating the autoplay function and also the much request autoresume function.
