blog audio player

May 20, 2008 6:17 PM

I see audio players like the one on this page all over the internet. I am HTML-impaired but want to use this player on my little blog so I can post clips of music and write about them. How do I get this player, and what's the easiest way to implement?

It is Audio Player for Wordpress. This page has instructions to implement it in non-Wordpress sites.

That's a Wordpress plugin by Martin Laine. However, if you follow this tutorial it looks like you can use it on non-Wordpress sites as well.

That's amazing- clearlydemon's answer wasn't there on preview.

I used that Wordpress plugin - and perhaps I didn't set it up correctly, but my bandwidth usage quickly shot past my limit - from sites like Seeqpod etc... anyway, it was easy to implement, just be aware of your traffic etc...

Holy crap is that a nice-looking plugin.

I don't imagine yours was, either; race conditions are tricky things :-)

That's a lovely looking plugin, but if I may piggyback on the question, does anyone know of something similar which copes with VBR?

VBR limitations are due to Flash, not this particular plugin.
