directory listing flash mp3 player

September 24, 2008 5:38 AM

Is there a free flash mp3 player that I can place in a directory on a web server and have it automatically make a playlist of the contents of that directory and play them?

I basically want something that emulates a standard directory listing on IE or safari but allows you to play the flies that are mp3s via flash.

wishlist:
-support for subdirectories would be nice
-ability to download files
-it would also be nice if it wasn't ugly
-wav support

I don't know if this will meet all of your requirements, or any, but you can use a php script from www.lasmit.co.uk to generate an xml playlist of mp3 files, which can be fed into a flash-based media player.

I'm currently using a similar script to create on the fly playlists for FLV files with the JW Player.

Best answer: What pipco said.

Or, alternately, you can use php or whatever to list all files in a directory as links, and use playtagger to play them.

Response by poster: opendir php script plus playtagger was the answer
