Hi All... I like the media module and all, but I'd like to see something more... like a multiple-song mp3 player with pick lists, etc.  Does anyone know of any good free embedded mp3 players that work good with DNN?  I've taken a look at a couple:  XSPF Flash Music Player -- I could not get it to read its .xspf config file and didn't get it working.  I've tried several other flash-based players which required inserting javascript, and those didn't seem to take either in the text/html module.  It's been very frustrating.  So, if you all know of a good mp3 player which can handle multiple songs you can pick from based on mp3 files sitting in DNN, I would certainly appreciate your input!  :)

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Katherine...

Yep, I did try those sites to get the XSPF player working... I was really hoping to get it working cuz it's a pretty cool little player, bu no dice.  For some reason, it just doesn't like to pick up or read the custom .xml file you have to create and reference.  For me, I could get the player running, but it would only play a default playlist from who knows where.  It wasn't my own playlist... oh well.  If anyone has had any luck with the XSPF player on DNN, I'd certainly love to hear from you!  :)

I did get a player finally working on my site... you can check it out here... I'm not sure if it's streaming, or if it has to d/l the entire mp3... not sure.  I'll need to try from remote some day.  Perhaps you can tell me?  :)

It's sad to me that this was the only one... I tried a bunch of other cool ones, but no dice.  Guess I'm stuck with this one for now...

Thanks for your reply, Katherine!

Cya,

Hi Katherine... I finally got it working... dang, that took long.  I had the 4 absolute paths already... it just wasn't able to read the playlist.xspf for some reason.  I finally figured out... it's because IIS didn't have .xspf registered as a known mimetype, and wasn't able to serve it up!  Arrrghghgh...  So for all of those of you out there with this issue... pretty easy... just add this mimetype:

extension:  xspf
mimetype:  application/xspf+xml

I am the Dad setting up the site for my daughter and her band.  :)  Pleased to meet you... looks like we have similar jobs here... :)  The template is just one of those freebies I found out there on the net... wish I could find more of them, or at least figure out how to make my own. 

I'm also not happy with the gallery either, but I found a workaround... I've been using this one for my personal family pictures, albeit outside of dotnetnuke:  http://www.klingebiel.com/tempest/hd/Xibit.htm... I'll probably be moving more stuff over to it.  Wish I could drop it into DNN.  :)

I try to stay as much within the boundaries of DNN so thing don't break... plus I don't know what the heck I'm doing anyways if I have to venture into dotnet programming.  :)

Take care,
Mike
