Theres the code I used. Im not sure if I put the 2 songs in correctly!

[mlinh133]

you can just delete the part of the code you didnt fill up, meaning

<option value="2">Artist Name - Song Title</option>
<option value="3">Artist Name - Song Title</option>
<option value="4">Artist Name - Song Title</option>

and

songs[2]="SONG URL HERE";
songs[3]="SONG URL HERE";
songs[4]="SONG URL HERE";

oh, and could you use a codebox please?

[XxArsonFreakxX]

the reason it doesnt work is because this is a video playlist not a song playlist look for the drop down playlist in the book of resources

I tried the 50 Cent - Candy Shop and it doesn't work because the link doesn't work.. So.. Get a new link for that song..
