Building a website I need to have a mp3 player on it. Do not want to go with the Quicktime option, since it opens a new page. I would rather go for the solution with a player with a playlist, also seen on many other sites. Is this possible with Freeway? Do I have to use HTML code or is there another way around it?

QT doesn’t open a new page - you can have an mp3 on your page with play bar etc see http://www.deltadzine.net/test/mp3.html
Just drag the mp3 onto your FW page.
If you want to have a playlist rather than individual files there are a number of flashplayers out there that you can use but you will need to do a bit of coding.
Here is one called Ephonic http://www.deltadzine.net/ephonic.html

Hi David! Thank you for answering. It is appreciated! The Flash player with a playlist in your example will suit me perfect. What do I have to do with the coding to be more specific? Will it be within FW? What is the exact workaround to incorporate the Flash player in FW?

Remember that a Flash player method won’t work on an IOS machine.
I will dig out that page for you and some instructions later.

Hi David
I am afraid that I am way in over my head here. To be honest I don’t understand the instructions. The instructions doesn’t tell anything about placing the grafic (player) anywhere, nor does it tell how to size it. If I have a blank site what do I have to do from there? I have downloaded the “upload stuff” action and got it running allright. I don’t know what to do with the “” files. It tells me to go to page>HTML markup and before /HEAD and do something from there, but this is where I am getting lost. Do I have to draw a HTML item or what? I understand you if you think it’s to difficult to help me out on this. As I told you, I appreciate that you have taken your time to answer me allready.

page>HTML markup and before /HEAD and
In the page that you are placing your player go to the Page Menu then down to HTML Markup - this will open a dialogue box. There is a selector in the bottom LH corner where you choose where to place this markup.
Insert: Before </Head>
And then paste
<script src="swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="ep_player.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Once you have pasted the code click the OK button (bottom right)
This pastes the code into the top of your FW document to reference the javascript files that you will upload with the page later.
To position the player on the page you can copy the markup boxes from the document example you downloaded from my site. You can move these to anywhere you like on your page and resize them to suit by dragging the corners.
Alternatively you can copy the whole page from my example document and paste it into yours.
You do this by clicking on the page name in the site pane at the left hand side and then Edit>Copy
Then open your document - click on your Site Folder in the site pane and Edit>Paste

Ok think I’ve got it, but the only thing is that my browser comes up with the message… “To use the E-Phonic MP3 Player you will need Adobe Flash Player 9 or better and a Javascript enabled browser.” I am sure my Safari browser (latest version" are Java Script enabled, and I have just downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Flash player version. Can you nail that one too?

If you have got the latest Flash plugin and JS is enabled then I would try a restart and/or another browser.
Check under the Security Tab in Safari Preferences to ensure that JS and plugins are enabled.

Hi Torben,
I don’t want to derail you if you are almost done with the Flash
player solution but I thought I’d mention that I created an action a
while ago that allows you to add Yahoo’s Media Player (http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/
) to a Freeway web page quite easily. You can find an example and the
action download here;

Hi David!
In your example i need to know where you have put the “upload stuff action”. I can’t see where it is placed in your example. I have got it to a stage where it loads the player, but i need to know where to put the skins and also the mp3 files. I think I am close to getting there after all. And thank you for your patience with me.

Use an FTP app to get these onto the server like Transmit or Cyberduck
If you have defined the location of the music files such as
<location>mp3/demo.mp3</location>
Then you will need to create a folder called mp3 at the same level on the server as the page with the player on it. The skins folder will go alongside this. (again by FTP)
Upload Stuff is a Page action by Tim Plumb

Hi David,
I am afraid to admit that I have tried to do as adviced, but cannot seem to get it right. You can see an example of my effords at http://www.aarhuspartyband.dk/ephonic.html As you can see the player does show, but it cannot load the skins nor the music. I am not able to locate the catch…

The skins folder should at http://www.aarhuspartyband.dk/skins
the mp3 folder should be at http://www.aarhuspartyband.dk/mp3
Did you use an ftp app to upload these folders? If so how is your server configured? Does it have a public_html folder or a htdocs folder?
If either of these then that is where these 2 folders should go.

Hi Torben,
I can see from the source code on your page that the browser is
looking for the skins at;
http://www.aarhuspartyband.dk/skins/nobius_blue/skin.xml
Although the skins directory is there on the server the ‘nobius_blue’
directory isn’t. You will need to FTP this into place with the
‘skin.xml’ file inside it to get the skins to work correctly.
Similarly the playlist file is looking for your MP3s in the following
location;
http://www.aarhuspartyband.dk/mp3/demo.mp3
You will need to FTP the MP3 directory (with the MP3 inside it) into
this location before the playlist file will locate and play the files.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.

I just wanted to say that this thread is/was very helpful. thank you. I am a musician trying to make my own webpage, and I have no coding skills what so ever.
So thanks for all the patient advice.

I am going to go with the quicktime method. But where is the option to have it NOT start playing when the page loads?
I have multiple audio files on the page and it may begin to sound like very avant garde stuff if they all go at once.

Select your audio file on your FW page
Item>Extended Create a new name/value pair of autostart:false for each audio file (under the Embed Tab)
That should do the trick.

thanks so much dave, I know my questions are elementary and as I mentioned before I am a musician not a coder.
But I am not sure what this means:
