There's a big difference between this one and the one you installed. The one you have installed is the old XML driven version, which doesn't use no database queries. It's not very secure, by that I mean, by hiding urls of mp3's.

The one you see on here is fully integrated with vbulletin's database, and no one can view urls of mp3's. This one also has many other features, setting up of which usergroups can add to the player, etc. It uses an Admin Management System, which can be set to PM you if anyone adds a track for approval, if you set to approve mp3's before adding them to the playlists. Plus you have a 500 track limit on this version, compared to the 100 track limit on the old one.

I haven't been storing the mp3's in my database...I'm using an outside uploader, like you had suggested, as I don't really like the idea of having them in the DB, plus the laws are different here, yadda, yadda, etc... Ok, whoa, wait a minute...500 for each playlist or for the the whole system?? There a limit of 100 for each playlist on the one I'm using...

Ok, now that you've got me considering this new system of yours...how difficult would a switchover be? Especially regarding the mp3 uploading...can I use the same playlists I've created?

Well, this mp3 player uses the same format, as in using external links to mp3's which can be literally anywhere on the web.

The older one can only hold 100 songs and has no limiters that prevent you going over this limit, which would cause the player to become unstable. This one uses limiters, so it's impossible to add more than 100 songs per playlist. Basically, both can hold the same amount but this one is better in many ways. You can view a demo of this player in the first post.

Actually, changing from the old version to this version isn't an easy task, since you will need to add the songs one by one into the Mp3 Adding screen, it does allow you to add 3 songs at a time, which is better than a single track at a time. All editing/deleting is done via the Mp3 Player Management within the AdminCP.

That's what I was afraid of...the moving...I think I might just stay with the older one for now...but I know my friends would like the interaction of this one, I'm sure a switchover is inevitable...I'm just not ready...Yet.

Thank you for your patience...:)

You're welcome!:)

What exactly do I need to remove (files and?) in the old player to install this new player??

You don't remove any files... All files in the UPLOAD folder you need to upload and overwrite the old ones. Then import the product.xml file using vBulletins Product Manager.

Ok I did the overwrites and I imported the XML but I set to overwrite. Was that right because I still cannot get mine to work! Maybe I have too many mods in my site!

Yeah, that is correct, overwrite when importing the product.xml file.

Did you press F5 or Refresh after importing the product.xml file? Straight after the Mp3 Player Management should be available in your AdminCP. You then select Mp3 Management Settings and set it up and click the Save button.

This mod shouldn't interfere with other mods, all the files are carefully named not to conflict.

I installed the update but I do not know what info to put in the settings boxes, can you help?
