Profile Enhancements - LoudFusion Profile Music Player

I have a huge bored with tons of members, so I try to keep plugins to a minimal. Most of the players I have seen are not only products, but aren't thought out very well. I use loudfusion.com since it's the only music player that will actually work on myspace. After using it for awhile, I've fallen in love with it. There are even multiple players to choose from. Right now I have it set up to use the simple player, but if the community needs help adding other players then I shall assist.

        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="$id"></a>
        <span class="block_name">Music</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<p align="center">

</div></div>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / Music -->

There really isn't a need for the following code as the music player doesn't eat any bandwidth, however I am sure it will be asked.

If you wish to only show the player to registered members then you can use the following code:

<!-- Music -->
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 3, 6, 7)">
<if condition="$userinfo[fieldM]">
<div id="$id" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="$id"></a>
        <span class="block_name">Music</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<p align="center">
<embed src="http://www.loudfusion.com/widgets/music/5" name="Music" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="USERID=$userinfo[fieldM]<if condition="$userinfo[fieldMP]">&FOLDERID=$userinfo[fieldMP]</if>" width="235" height="150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</p>
</div></div>
</div>
</if>
</if>
<!-- / Music -->

You can change what groups are allowed to view the player by changing 2, 3, 6, 7 to the groups you want to allow. Just remember to set the fields up.

Note: If you have other groups besides Admins, Mods, and Members, be sure to add those groups.

Does this interfere with copyright laws... Can you stream live music that is not your own or don't have permission to do so? Just curious what the ramifications are.

[TheInsaneManiac]

As far as I know it shouldn't. The embedded code is allowed on myspace considering there were issues with playlist.com.

You can read more about the block here.

As far as loudfusion's music goes, they don't allow you to link to your own content instead they use it from external websites. Where you can search them here.

As I stated though I'm not sure, I would imagine any trouble would be directed to loudfusion themselves, however you can take a look at their terms of service.

So where do I find that Folder ID? Feel like a noob but really cant find it..

Is there a way to make turn autoplay on or off?

Works great.

[DarkGizmo]

Does this allow users to make their own playlists for their profiles? That would be cool.

[BlackJacket]

Installed and works great. Thanks!
