Mini Flash Music Player, Song Playlists Options

[HSXLC]

Alright many of you have been given out code for playlist on your MySpace...but people were complaing that you couldn't choose the songs you want to listen to. So this is for those people...

First things first, you need to download the player and playlist file (click here~9kb)
The file is in .zip format, which requires IZArc to extract!

Once you've downloaded and extracted the file, you will have two files, player.swf and playlist.xml. Open up playlist.xml in notepad, or whatever text editor you use. Edit the lines that appear like this:
<song path="Song Link Here.mp3" title="Artist - Track" />
By putting the EXACT URL to your mp3 file in the "path" attribute, and then the Artist and Track name in the "title" attribute.
Of course if you have more songs than there are lines in the xml file, you can add as many more as you like!

Now upload your completed playlist.xml file and player.swf to your webhost of choice (like UploadHut.com), once uploaded, use the following code to embed it on your page:

<embed src="http://pathto/player.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="EEEEEE" width="300" height="320" name="index" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=http://pathto/playlist.xml&ShowPlaylist=1&ShowEQ=1&firstTrack=1&initVol=50" wmode="transparent" />

The values in bold need to be changed to your specific requirements.

src - Set this to the EXACT URL of your player.swf file.
bgcolor - Set this to any 6 digit hex code to change the colour of the player.
playList - set this to the EXACT URL of your playlist.xml file.
ShowPlaylist - This controls whether the playlist is visible upon startup. 1 for yes, 0 for no.
ShowEQ - This controls whether the equilizer is visible on startup. 1 for yes, 0 for no.
firstTrack - Sets which track should be played initially. Setting 0 will turn autostart off.
initVol - Sets the initial volume of the player. 0 (mute) to 100 (maximum)

And that's that! You could even extend this further by putting the player in a DIV container, and absolutely positioning it anywhere on your page!

Even though no one is asking.. thanks for sharing!

[eelyajekim]

any good mp3 sites out there

[E-Swan]

http://cdzinc.com/32K/albumindex.html

^^Go there. Type in the songs name or band and it should pop up. Best one out there in my opinion

those aren't mp3s.

do wmas work?

[eelyajekim]

i don't think so

[maskedmoron23]

the playlist doesn't work for me on my myspace. any idea's on what to do?

[mrlumpy]

It shows up on my myspace, but doesnt play anything or show how long the show is. does the files have to be in MP3's ?? Im just doing direct links to songs off the internet.

[HSXLC]

Every song has to be a .mp3 for the player to work.

[Chaos Bliss]

It would be nice of you to actually leave credit for the site that created this code, instead of just simply copy//pasteing it .

http://www.mygen.co.uk/

and what do you mean you need Izarc to unzip a zip file, hmm WINZIP the people who only made zip files, im sure that program can unzip things, makes sense .

[xxx11904xxx]

I really like the way this player looks, but I have no clue what u mean by uploading an pasting the urls into the code. I made a playlist and uploaded it to the hut site u gave, but now i dont know which code to use cause they got like 4 different ones. You also say to load ur player to it, were do I get the player from cause I dont have one, or do I use the one that unzips in the one file? Do I combine them into one file then upload them or what? Please help im completely lost with this but really want it. I have one on my xanga which was very easy to do, but trying to get one on my myspace just doesnt seem to be happening

Some one hacked the site Just read the forum


edit:// There is something wrong .. I dunno if it's just me or the myspace won't show up the player. The only thing that would show up is the picture of the site which I used to upload my file

Click here to see my profile

and when I came back to check the code.. and changed into an iFrame

[BombaTwist]

<embed src="URL HERE/player.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="EEEEEE" width="300" height="320" name="index" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=URL HERE/playlist.xml&ShowPlaylist=1&ShowEQ=1&firstTrack=1&initVol=50" wmode="transparent"

i hope that helps

[vehvih]

They disabled the mini flash music player code code in my profile

[Strawberryred85]

how come when i click "submit" an iframe pops up instead of the player. am i doing something wrong with my xml file? or am i choosing the wrong web host?

myspace

[Strawberryred85]

i just stumbled onto this forum topic when i was lurkling through the myspace forums and it turns out that there was a rollback that turns embed codes into iframes. so this player might not work anymore...here is the link to that forum topic...
MySpace

[bdsgjfdsghliaewr]

so does anyone know how to get your music onto the intternet. i tried that uploadhut tbut it doesnt seem to work.

[vehvih]

Ahem .. another mp3 Flash Player


http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...blogID=28957257

You're welcome

here's another one:

http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/

And also, the flash player suggested by HSXLC came from this:

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash+Mp3+Player

[D1SMANTLED]

You should submit this to Myspace Scripts. It helps a lot since I found like, 5 threads asking about this code.

Good job btw, and thanks!

[Teknoblade]

http://www.streamload.com

Just go there to upload any music you have, then check the box, click download, and it gives you the direct link to your songs.

[INC0HERENT]

... arent mp3's illegal?

[Sleepn2zero9]

bleh... MP3's are not illegal... illegally downloaded MP3s are... but heh... who cares..

[rich_]

myspace has edited the way it parses embedded objects. they're now placed inside of an i-frame. there are a few fixes to this but none of them are satisfactory to the actual embedding of the object.

i think tom needs to stop filtering shit. =/

[iNGENiOUZ ANGEL]

how did she [click here] get her playlist to work?? =/

[wongman113]

muahahaha...thats our secret...MUAHAHAA....

no jp...i recently found out when i tried jacking the html...it seems only certain places let it work....geocities is the one that i found working..so upload ur xml and ur svw?O_o...whatever that thing is again on to the geocities..however...u need to add songs from elsewhere..unless its only like one or two songs...check out my page if u want proof..below is the link even though the damn gif wont show..>.<...iites then lataz peepz!

[iNGENiOUZ ANGEL]

damn... i hope it works then... because i changed my layout yesterday to match the music player! LOL yeah im retarded but i was bored and i wanted it to match (x

edit///
ohh and you have one of the cooliest myspaces =)

[joeblack]

^ That's not going to work.

Your text is being parsed and the embed tag is replaced with iframe. when the embed
tag is removed so is your flashvars attribute that points to your playlist.

you need to pass the flashvars manually through the url. Also since the parser looks for the url to end with a swf(if not it removes it), create a bogus variable(here it is throw) and set it to a bogus swf file(throw.swf)

Change the src and the playlist from this example to match yours and you will be gold.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><iframe src="urlto/player.swf?playList=urltoplaylist/player.xml&amp;ShowPlaylist=1&amp;ShowEQ=1&amp;firstTrack=1&amp;initVol=100&amp;throw=throw.swf" height="275" width="265" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

If anyone figures out how to change the iframe's background to transparent i'd love to hear about it. But I assume it's something thats already set in the stylesheet with precedence.

Oh, and F Tom, he wouldn't need to filter stuff like this out if he knew how to script properly.

No thanks necessary

current myspace
view this in firefox to really see the extent of what css can do

[hawnboy]

go to TinyURL.com and convert your hosted SWF file, http://www.XXX/swf to a smaller url. copy and replace with the the new smaller url into the entire code that you posted. then post it in myspace. for some reason, that worked for me. lemme know if it works for you.

[xfilmnoirx]

ack ....ok so I downloaded the mini player files, player.swf and playlist.xml. I downloaded some mp3 files and saved them to my computer. I uploaded the songs onto angelfire because the files were to big for geocities. So then I took the url of the mp3s from off of angelfire and put them into playlist.xml using notepad. I saved the playlist.xml. I loaded both the player.swf and playlist.xml onto geocities. I used the iframe code because I was told the embeded code doesn't work on myspace, I put the url of the player.swf and the playlist.xml into the iframe code. When I push submit on myspace, the player shows O1. on the dropdown list but none of the songs. Somebody please help me .

changing iframe's background to transparent? something like myspace

[vehvih]

changing iframe's background to transparent? something like myspace

Yeah.. something like that. How did you do it?

[emi_myspace]

Yeah.. something like that. How did you do it? 

You need to create an html first just paste the code down below using your notepad or anything similar to it then upload all 3 files to your web host (player.html, player.swf, player.xml). You may want to change the CSS code same as your MySpace CSS background code to suit the player with your MySpace background.

NOTE: Remember, the player accept xml playlist as an html parameter. This way you can give your player a multiple playlist. The player ONLY accept mp3 with NO SPACE between the name.

After you uploaded all 3 files to your web host, goto your MySpace then put this code somewhere for example I put mine in Music.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><iframe src="http://URL TO YOUR WEB HOST/player.html" menu="false" quality="high" name="index" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playlist=http://URL TO YOUR WEB HOST/player.xml&ShowPlaylist=1&ShowEQ=1&firstTrack=0&initVol=50&throw=throw.swf" height="275" width="265" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

That's it and you done. Hope this explain it all.

is there a way to make the playlist play randomly?

Play randomly? Yes, it can. All you need to do is edit your player.xml using text editor. I use EmEditor.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><br /><player showDisplay="yes" showPlaylist="yes" autoStart="random"><br /><br />    <song path="URL TO YOUR MP3 FILE" title="ARTIST NAME - SONG TITLE" /><br />    <song path="URL TO YOUR MP3 FILE" title="ARTIST NAME - SONG TITLE" /><br /><br /></player><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

- showDisplay "yes" or "no".
- showPlaylist "yes" or "no".
- autoStart "yes", "no" or "random" (to start a random song).

That's it all done!

[emi_myspace]

Where does the player.swf go in that code?

The swf file is already in the player.html. Just make sure all 3 files uploaded on the same root.

[Acturos]

Sorry im lost, so which ones work? -____-

And where do you get the html from? Is that the url thats given to youa fter uploading xml?

Edit:

Okay this is what I did, I uploaded all my songs on uploadhut.com and then changed my playlist.xml with all the song urls input with the Artist/Track name.

Then I tried to use the code, that ht efirst person posted, but that didn't work?

If you making a playlist for Flash MP3 Player with .wma I don't think that will work. It's been said only .MP3 are supported.

This is a great topic. The recent changes to myspace have made easy add-ins like these harder than they should be.

I have the player showing up, the playlist showing up, but... you guessed it. No sound!

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Nevermind. Typo king doubled up on a character and f'ed the whole thing up. lol
Works great. If anyone is having issue, just follow the directions to the letter and it should come right up.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
