[LRUG] off-topic: embedded mp3 player, how to?

[Ed Davey]

Thanks - I'd be interested in learning of your experiences in due  
course.

For now I'm using the $30 wimpyplayer flash player (http:// 
www.wimpyplayer.com/). This is loaded into an invisible frame so that  
playback isn't interrupted as you navigate around the site.  
wimpyplayer has a basic javascript api allowing you to load playlists  
and control the player at a basic level using js.

So I've got what I needed which was a) complete control of the player  
interface and b) continuous playback whilst loading new pages.

Of course the use of a frameset is nasty but I couldn't see how to  
avoid it in this case.
