Nice little Flash mp3 player

I like the look of this.

looks cool, but just be aware that the Sound.loadSound command caches the mp3 on the user's harddrive by default, so they get a free copy of the music when they press play on the player.

I'm assuming here that it's written in AS2, if it's AS3 it might be different, I haven't looked at AS3 yet. Just a heads up that using these players can (depending on the player) be detrimental if the person setting up doesn't take this into consideration.

my bad - i knew that, should have mentioned it before!

Can you recommend a flash player that doesnt let the user do that?

Im after one myself.

Cheers!

Why do you need a flash player?

Why can't you just link mp3 or pls files, and let the user decide how they play them?

Yeah I looked at that one myself, looks pretty good but I'm guessing it uses an xml playlist. Decomplie the movie to find the playlist path and name, then use that path to open the playlist in your browser and get the true or relative paths to the files, and if the files aren't in secured folder you download them for free. I'm only guessin that that's how it works, but I've seen a few like this.

Because these are artists tracks from the label mark, be a bit silly to give them away now wouldnt it ;) AND contract busting :laughing:

Thats the player we are currently using, i love the look of it, but sadly it allows users to download the music, and thats something we are trying to avoid.

i do like it though :cheese:

What about if you added a"right click disabled" code ? ;)

true enough! but i'd have to learn flash first ;)

not gonna happen :cheese:

doesn't work like that, Flash is a client-side technology that executes on the users computer, so it needs to cache the mp3 in the temp internet folder unfortunately.
