Okay, got it installed.

Few questions:

1. Not sure how it works. When I create a new thread, I can see the Wrap [MP3] tags around selected text. What am I supposed to add withing those tags? I uploaded an mp3 to my server and provided a link to that, then wrapped it in those tags. All I got was a blank white box. :confused:

2. I read and re-read everything, and still can't find the Icon info that davekeats mentioned. I see the Wrap [MP3] tags around selected text on the New Post box. How can I make it an icon? I'll slap my forehead later.

I'm new. Sorry.

Hang on with this. I'm trying the solution above.

Still don't get it. Sorry.

Okay, I got the icon figured out. Still not sure what I'm supposed to wrap in the mp3 tags.

Hi Sorry, havn't been on lately, pretty much if you take an mp3 say
http://www.mywebsite.com/cool.mp3 then wrap the mp3 tags around it, it will play with JW Media Player, you have to download and install that onto your site first in the root directory as /mp3player/ though it'll play more than just MP3s. You may have to install the deactivate click to activate flash player, there is an article in the vB.org article section on how to do that for your entire site.

is it possible for users to upload thier music with this hack?

when you click the button in your editor... you have to insert the full url to the mp3.....
[mp3]"http://theblackpoet.com/forums/mediaplayer/madworld.mp3"[/mp3]

minus the quotes

but how would the user upload the music to my site? sorry, dont get it...

the music is linked... not uploaded... YOU if you have ftp access can upload music.. but you wouldnt want a lot of tracks being uploaded to your site anyway huh??... bandwidth killer...

so people can link to other tracks that already online... and play them through that way... taking someone else's bandwidth

I have done everything, but I'm not getting an MP3 to play (via wrapping it in the tags). Instead, I only hear the MP3 file that's in the BB Code manager.
