Question: Building a listening area on a blog post

Need an easy-to-use, visually elegant mp3 jukebox thingie for a website

Got a large collection of mp3 files that I'd like to allow people to listen to from a single blog post (Wordpress). So I'm looking for a nice jukebox-ish app that I can embed, allows users to scroll through the choices, click on the one they want to listen to, it starts playing in-line.

I'm not having any luck finding a WP plugin. And I don't want to just list a bunch of links to the mp3 files. Any great, elegant, quick way to make a "listening area" on a single blog post?

You can use playlists with this Flash MP3 player.

NT, unless I'm missing something, that plug-in shows one track at a time. I need to be able to display all of the mp3s on a single page; clicking on one of them starts it playing.

you could create a media master account and set them up in a play list. Then you can embed that play list in a post. it seems like that would be perfect.

Wijering's player, (which I can personally testify is awesome), allows you to create multimedia playlists- well his media player does anyway: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player

Failing that, nothing stopping you from embedding as many instances of the mp3 player as you want on one page.

Someone I know uses this site to generate pretty much what you're looking for. Maybe less pretty, but it has the basics.

Well, since the site I linked has an example of the player showing multiple tracks on the front page and is identical to the site drjimmy linked to, I'd say yes, you are missing something.
