digg.com use my Audio Player
Yesterday, TechCrunch reported on digg.com launching two new sections: Podcasts and Videos.
I found out this morning that digg are using my Audio Player for their Podcasts section which is really cool. Incidentally, I also found out that TalkCrunch, the weekly TechCrunch podcast site, also use my player (via the excellent PodPress plugin).
This news has given me another motivation boost to complete the next release of my Audio Player. Features for version 2 will definitely include:
- Simple standalone option for non-WordPress websites
- Better handling of simultaneous open players (using my friend Pete’s excellent LcBroadcast class)
- Better handling of bandwidth usage: pause button also pauses download. Note: This feature can be turned off.
- Volume control
- More options to control the interface (like removing certain elements such as titles)
- WordPress version will include JavaScript method to embed player (great news for IE users)
- Player will be resizeable (well, its width anyway)

@michael: version 2 is on the back burner for the moment. I know the plugin looks like a relatively simple application but it is actually quite time consuming and very tricky to implement all the features that people want. I will definitely get back to work on it soon but I cannot promise anything. Your donation offer is very generous but unfortunately it is more of a spare time issue on my part.
Sorry I can’t be more specific…
