Tutorial for using Audio Player on non-WordPress sites

Good news for people who want to use my Audio Player on a non-WordPress site: Mindy McAdams has very kindly written a nice tutorial explaining exactly how to do it.

Thanks Mindy!

    Is there anyone who can give me a specific code example to remove the flash IE box? The annoying “Click to activate this control”. I have found some code but nothing seems to work properly and some that might are confusing. I might mess the flash embed code up. Please help!

    Take a look at my site. Click the “Beats | Tracks” link. I have multiple players and need to get rid of the IE warning box.

    Warm Regards.

    Something else. It seems that the player doesnt show up on IE. I tried it at home and at work. It works great in Firefox though, and I have an old version of that.. Just wondering if anyone has a fix, or if I might be doing something wrong.

    thanks for the info above regarding ID3 tags.

    Eric-
    The artist and song title are generated in the audio player from the ID3 tags of the mp3 file itself. Many times the same app that you use to create mp3s from wavs also allows you add the ID3 tags at the same time. If not, there are many freeware apps out there that support this function.

    I might be doing something wrong. Does the text, name of the song, appear for you? For me on my site it doesnt. Is there a line of code I need to add in order to display the name of the song?

    Thanks much

    -Eric

    @Rich: Sorry but I can’t give you a release date. It’s getting close but it takes a lot of time to build good software and I don’t want to release something that is not ready. I also have a day job and a busy social life. I’m also moving to a new flat soon so that takes some organising… What I can tell you is that version 2 will fulfill both your requirements (volume control and true pause as you call it). Be patient and sorry for not being able to be more precise…

    Many thanks for this simple but elegant little player. I am going to incorporate it into my site but before I do, (as I have over 50 mp3’s to use it with) when do you think the new player will be ready? The volume control and TRUE pause are what I am most interested in. Users come to my site and play small bits of tracks to find what they like, so if they started a bunch of tracks with no true pause, they would all be loading and could bog down the connection. Also, the volume control is a must! :-)

    Please give us an idea of the release date for the new player. I might wait until its ready if it will be soon.

    MANY Thanks!

    Thanks Martin for your audio player plugin. I am using it on my Wordpress blog and I found it easy to configure and use. I gave you a brief mention on my blog entry for November 12th, 2007.

    Thanks again and wishing you the best!

    @nicozab: you can’t change the buffering options via flashvars in the current version. I’m currently working on version 2 and will have a look at what I can do (shouldn’t be very complicated). As for the mini version, I can’t promise anything. I may look at it in the future but this would be quite a big feature to implement

    SLOW CONNECTIONS?
    I’m using your audioplayer -great great job, btw- in a site here in latinamerica. Here, the ISPs and internet connections -even the so-called ‘high bandwidth’- are the worst. The player in slow connections begins to have hiccups and pauses.. how can we be over this? It’s possible to increase the buffering via a flash variable? any ideas?
    [thank you very much for any help, I really like your player and we want to use it..]

    another question: It’s possible to get a ‘mini’ version of the player? something more like one-line text height?

    thanks again.

    Hi Martin,

    first let me thank you for this neat plugin! I’ve had one problem in customizing it, though. Basically it stays white/transparent all the time and ignores my bgcolor attribute.. Changing the bgcolor attribute at runtime wouldn’t work. Take a look at my recent blog entry and the code I used on Wordpress:

    [audio http:xxx.mp3|bgcolor=0xefefef|bg=0xefefef||slider=0xF14747]

    I’ve also tried to attach all three color attribute single, bgcolor is the only one that won’t work.
