Inline MP3 players
  • Nialler9Nialler9
    I'm looking for any suggestions regarding inline MP3 players.

    I've been using the yahoo media player but it has a large footprint and readers have complained it doesn't work in IE7 and Chrome.

    Sample here - http://www.nialler9.com/blog/2008/09/17/one-day-international/

    I've also used the audio_player plugin in the past but found too many on a page to make laoding very sluggish.

    Any suggestions or testimonials ?

    I use playtagger, and while it may not allow someone to listen to ALL of the music on your page at once, I think it's a very streamlined...streamer of music.  Plus, it keeps them on your page while they listen.


    I made some custom play buttons, which was fun.  Ben from Busted Up Bulldozers helped me with the details.  I would email if you're interested in going that route.  or, I'm sure I have the email from him, so if you'd like I could forward it to you.

    I second playtagger (as long as you don't mind the delicious link it shows when playing). Find it here.

    I love the yahoo music radio that I think I got through their MP2 blog Facebook page. It's up in the right hand corner on both Swedesplease and Songs:Illinois.

    Ideally, I'd like something very similiar that plays all the mp3s on the page, but can be chosen inline.

    The latest version of Yahoo Media player has been rewritten but it totally doesn't work with my links in IE7.

    If I could fix that,I'd be a happy camper.

    Nailler9 would you want the old code of Yahoo Media player? It still works...
  • Nialler9Nialler9
    Chengy, It didn't work in IE7 for me so that's why I changed it you see.
  • chengychengy
    Yeah I can tell the new version doesnt work for your blog but does the old style work? Other then that you can ignore me...

    Yahoo's development team are looking into it.

    Playtagger is great because it doesn't slow your page down in any significant way. Every other player I've seen tends to hog a fair amount of memory (at least initially).

    It also doesn't work in Google Chrome, but I mean... are you using that even?

    funniest thing i've seen all day. except for a member of a band anonymously posting on my blog to bash the opinion of one of my writers. that was just about equally funny.
