This BB Code will allow users to have a small mp3 player in:
Posts in the forums
Signatures i.e. Song of the day/week etc.
anywhere you can use BB Code Tags
I found this while browsing: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com as I have some phpBB boards of my own and was tinkering as usual . It was rather simple to add as a BB Code to VBulletin and did not take much time to make it work in vB via the {param} tags etc!
Credit for the Code goes to phpbb3codes.com and the creator of the .swf player i.e. djgalix!
Time to install: 1-2 mins
Instructions:
Download the .zip and extract the SWF player
Upload the player_mp3.swf into your forum root folder
*The Player .swf file HAS to be in your forums ROOT folder, this will make it NOT visible in AdminCP as that is another folder i.e. admincp folder BUT it will display FINE in the forums via FireFox and Internet Explorer! (Thanks for the catching that bug where it did not display joh!)
Now use the tags [mp3]Full Song URL Here![/mp3]
*Experienced Users can take the code replacement and hard code into forums where desired!

Oh well!
Ahh HostGator, I bet it's the mod securities they have enabled on your server, if you have had other problems (specifically with vBa CMPS or vBa Links etc) then you must have them disable the mod securities. This mod also will not work if you have DJ's AME Mod installed.
For some who cannot get the mod to work etc, it is usally the AME mod, a Mod Security enabled on your server per your host OR something in your .htaccess file.
Replace the yoururl with your url, note I left the .com so if you are .net or .org change that, also leave the www as-is unless you have something setup like forums.yoursite.com etc etc.
Hope that helps some, and remember to always PM me if I do not reply promptly to your posts.
Only one song... if you try it how I coded w/o the Option set to yes then you cannot play several as your forums will want to place the [URL] tags around the second song url and it errors it out!
If anyone get's it to do such then please post and I'll hug you even
I know there are mods on here for actual players but I wanted something slim and found it so I gave details on how-to for vb!
okay, I uploaded your file to the/public_html/forums root and now I see the mp3 player bar - looks nice and simple!
Tried to link to a couple of mp3 files on the internet, no success
Created a sub-folder under Forums called music and uploaded an mp3 file there - this is my preferred method anyway.
then used a path something like:
[mp3]www.mywebsite/home/anglico1/public_html/forums/music/rokmc-gon_zo_ga.mp3[/mp3]
also tried other locations for the "/home/"
I know this should be simple, but I'm an old fart and just learning, suggestions appreciated!
