BB Code Enhancements - Embed MP3 in post using flash player

This is somthing I created rather quickly because I wanted somthing small and effective for streaming MP3's in a post. I was searching the net for a nice small MP3 player to embed into a post and I found a nice FREE one over at 1pixelout.net. I did NOT create the player, I only created the BB code for this hack.

This takes about 2 minutes to prepare and get working.

Follow these steps

1. Download the Audio Player here http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-...ugin/#examples

2. Unzip and upload the files for the player to your host.

3. Add new BB code with the following information

Title: FlashPlayer

Tag: mp3

Replacement:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yourhost.com.com/audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer4" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=4&amp;soundFile={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Keep in mind this replacement code must match the location where you uploaded the audio player on your host.

Example: [mp3]http://www.hd-trailers.org/song.mp3[/mp3] *"http://" must be added for this to work properly.

Use Option: No

Button Image: See attachment

How to use: Simply find a link to an mp3 file and wrap the tags around it! That's it!

Not installed yet just because I'm concerned about copyright thing, you all know that.

Question:

Normally people host their mp3 files on the web using e.g.
http://minorcrisis.net
http://www.ripway.com
http://www.hotlinkfiles.com

This could be a way to get rid of any copyright issues because users would be resposible to keep their on mp3 files on the web but all those mp3 host require you to sign it up. So if you need to log in, would the mp3 links from those hosts work with this player ?

Great mod idea by the way.

Hmm, it would be nice if there was a "Download File" somehow integrated into the flash.

i agree tooo

[bobII]

how about if you wanted to use this in a profile field, so a user can have this player show up on their profile?

Worked perfectly in IE7, Firefox and Safari

I'm running 3.7.1 P1 for reference. Thanks!
