I suppose someone could make a plugin. There is an easier alternative if you are lazy like me 😉. The player is a free download. http://www.marcreichelt.de/spezial/musicplayer/#english

Alternate to a plugin, Download the player, get the code for the player you want there, then put the flash file and your mp3’s in a directory. Make a custom field in your entries, I was original and named it mp3…

Put this in your template changing to match your player swf file:

{if mp3}
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/foldername/emff_standard.swf?src=/foldername/{mp3}" width="110" height="34">
 
 
You need flash or other alternative content here
</object> 
{/if}

To make it easy to upload an mp3, use your file upload folder, make sure to put the flash file there.

Now anytime I upload or want to add an mp3 flash player to my posts for audio voice or music, I just type in the filename in the field and upload it if needed.

Actually, that audio player from the WP I linked is based on the EMFF player. I just thought it was cool how he customized the skin and was able to automate things like the colour. I also like how it expands. 😛

Has anyone had any luck porting this WP Plugin (http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/) to EE?? I really like the customizable style of this particular player but I’m all ears if anyone has any other suggestions for PRETTY flash MP3 players. Thanks!

Heh. Sorry! I didn’t mean to sound rude about the player you linked to… it’s just not all that “girly”. 😊

I downloaded the one from http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ but there are oodles of files in there. Which bits of code should I be looking for to get it to work with EE? I’ve already set up a custom field and set up the Feed Enclosure plugin so all that works, now I just need a pretty way for people to listen from my blog. Help??

lol, I agree, is kinda plain even for guys lol…

OK. I downloaded the above and installed in WP to check it out. It;s seems to be pretty wrapped around wordpress. I have seen similar around tho. It may be easier to look around. Wimpyplayer.com has a lot of options.

I DID IT!!! I downloaded the swf file from http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ and then followed Bruce’s instructions to create a custom field for the mp3 and then I added this to my index:

{if mp3 != ""}
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.domain.com/pathto/player.swf" id="audioplayer" height="24" width="290">





</object>
{/if}

on the 1pixelout site, he has a diagram on how to customize the colors. It was sooo easy once I was able to wrap my head around what Bruce was saying… that you can embed ANY flash player. lol Thanks so much, Bruce!!!

I got mine set up, but EE won’t let me upload mp3s via the upload dialogue, even though I have it set to allow all types - how does one fix this?

Also I’m getting the dreaded chipmunk effect despite having exported my mp3 at one of the recommended settings (screen shot attached using audacity settings).

My test entry is here Nevermind - I got it working.

Just wondering if it would be possible to turn this or some other flash player into a video interface?

By video interface you mean just to show a flash video? If yes see wimpy player video. Same principle
