No. I took a Wimpy (that's the brand name) MP3 Player and made extensive changes to it and then created a GUI in a forum HTML block widget with the look and feel of the rest of my site style. Now it is integrated seamlessly. Then I added handshake logic to control the child window player with the main window GUI

I also added a My Favorites function for each user to create a playlist of their favorites as well as a full history of what songs were played. This history is updated real time and is viewable via the icons in the left hand CMS HTML widget I created. I added other features as well

Would a Swish Jukebox app do all that for me?

Keep in mind that most if not all MP3 player apps will stop working the minute you go from one page on your forum site to another because they are tied to a specific page. That means you must remain on the page for as long as you want the player to play without it stopping. My approach using a child window allows the user to go to any page on my site with no interruption of the music. So if you start a song while viewing a forum you can then go to the arcade and play Asteroids without the music missing a beat.
