Firstly, bandwidth consumption - this mod would definately eat up bandwidth this is why I used file lodge, in the example. With quite large boards this probably would be a better option, than hosting mp3's on your own server. There are a number of sites dedicated to providing free hosting of mp3's.

However, I will update the download later today, with 2 versions of the actual player, so you can choose which version you would like to install - an Auto-start and the non Auto-start version.

Secondly, with regards to non-registered users you could just hide the link, which is better idea, considering this type of modification using the IF condition.

Here's the modified code to do this:
I'll update this modification later today, and explain other options this mod offers - which I overlooked.

Glad most you like the mod, though!:D

Installed.. but worried about bandwidth consumption. Also is this legal?

Is the ability to play mp3s legal? Absolutely, no question.

From there, the argument diverges based upon your point of view. ;)

Cool... great hack anyways. Thanks!

Can you provide the code that lets everyone see it too including guests? Thank you

Regarding bandwidth - see post 31

With reference to being legal... As far as I'm aware it is only illegal if a person downloads mp3's for personal use, and they do not own the original. However, laws vary from country to country.

How can we edit the visual look of the player ? Being that Apple has all kind of patents and such on the design, look, layout, and name ipod. I would like a more more basic looking player option as well, l ike another person mentioned.

installed!!

already getting comments on it. people love it. very l33t!! thanks! can't wait for the little updates you mentioned. :)
(and CMPS module. then I'd be happy as bug in a rug :p)

Hello, so ppl can download the mp3s i will add in or just play them? Also, is it supports playlist? I mean create a playlist with lots of mp3s in it, and then user choose what playlist should listen.

Ty a lot :)

Ya, a CMPS module would be awesome because it always shows up on the page without having to click on a link. Plus it would look nice in the center or left/right side of the page.

Would you release an unprotected flash file. So we can design our own look for this. Also the ipod layout comes with all kinds of patents and such. Id rather not use that look. Id like to throw in some adsense ads and other ads in the player with phpads if possible.
