[HOW-TO][n00b] Installing The Simplest MP3 Player On Your Website
yes, lurking somewhere on the warriorforum I found that some n00b was looking for a way to implement a mp3 player on his website, because he wanted to put up mp3 intro onto his sales squeeze page... Read the thread here... I thought it was so simple... but it was not for those who like him are pretty much n00bs... :(.. Every other guy was giving him a tougher advice to implement where as the solution was so simple.. so I am just putting up a guide on how to do it.
- Make a folder on your web server (just to keep it much more organised). we will call it "Music"
- upload a MP3 file in this folder (for testing I am uploading a song by Akon), called akon.mp3
- Now it is even simpler just initialize the free to use Google's Mp3 renderer... how to do that? read on..
Using the following code the implementation becomes simple here.
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
flashvars="audioUrl={link to your mp3 file}"
src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf"
width="400"
height="27"
quality="best">
</embed>Just insert the above code where ever you want to implement this mp3 player. according to the code replace "{link to your mp3 file}" with the destination, which was "music/akon.mp3" in our case. So the Code finally becomes:
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
flashvars="audioUrl=music/akon.mp3"
src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf"
width="400"
height="27"
quality="best">
</embed>Voila!... Enjoy your MP3s... :)).. How simple was it, Hope that helps you learn something!
Cheers!
