I have been playing with one of my styles and created a different look for the controls, because some of my members are getting confused as to how this works.

I created some simple GIFs for buttons just for now. When the MUTE button is pressed, the button turns red and says MUTED. This is just play/experiments right now but I think I can create a pretty cool looking radio player interface.
Here's a few screenshots of the experiments:

looks awesome svtoa! i love your proactivity. i think this corroboration in this thread is *tear* beautiful.

Looks good, SVTOA. I was thinking of doing something along those lines. Anybody know where to get some "radio faceplate" graphics?

Some of the users cannot hear anything. They've waited 30 seconds after clicking "Play this station"; they have IE, Windows Media Player and Real Player.....what could be the problem?

stuff like this?

[Silverstangs]

Damn I like this mod............ Now I just need to fix the graphics.

Question - How do I get this to work in FireFox or Mozilla as the Player Controls buttons do not work in those browsers for me, but work absolutely fine in IE? (must something to do with the javascript which I can not figure out what)

Other than that it is great and works perfectly, doe what it advertises

Sup Guys, this is a cool addition. I run my own station that alot of people enjoy. It is a Gaming Music Station for my site mogusland.com the stream url for windows media player is http://mogusland.servemp3.com:8000 or http://mogusland.servemp3.com:8000/listen.pls for other players.

If you guys want stats on this hack like what is found here: www.mogusland.com/radio.php then I could probably get it done.. but it might increase some page loading while it queries the stream... but not by much.

What program do you use to stream?

[OrangeFlea]

Not to turn this into a stations thread, but I have one final request in this matter:

I can't seem to find a good 80s and/or 70s music station along with a good symphony station.

Guys have any luck?

[SVTOA]

Ok, I have found that you can input links like this into the "add station" and it plays fine...!
