Default Is There A Way To Stream MP3 Attachments In vBulletin?
Hello,

I run a music recording site. A popular board is the "Recoriding Reviews" section where an engineer or artist will upload their songs and then we bash the crap out of them and give suggestions.

I've had a few compliants that it takes 30-60seconds to download the attachments and therefore my users are reviewing less music.

Is there a way to setup attached mp3s to play back more or less instantly?

Brandon

If the user has Quicktime installed it should play directly in the browser.

It seems that attachments act a little bit differently. While on many sites I can click on an mp3 and it start playing pretty much immediately, with mp3 attachments, the song won't big playing until the entire song is downloaded even if I select the "open" option.

I don't have Quicktime and I really can't expect all my users to have quick time either. There has to be a way to make this work with media player or some kind of streaming player in vBulletin.

You could create a mod that when an attachment is an mp3, it will have a tiny, inline flash-based mp3 player and the download link available. That way someone can just hit play, or they can download the song. Something like this:

Search XSPF Player on Google, I think that is what you are looking for. It will require some modifications for vBulletin of course though.

What I posted was a mock-up. It would need to be developed.

That looks like a great idea.

Does anyone know why an mp3 attachment won't play immediately but a link to http://www.domain.com/whatever.mp3 will play immediately? My guts says it MAY be faster to change the code so that the mp3 starts playing immediately in Media Player vs creating a new media player.

Then again, the flash media player thingy looks to be a great option.

hmmm
