(DTUNE) - flash audio playlist player

A very light flash MP3 player for your websites. Utilizes playlists in the the XSPF format and is really really easy to use and implement.

Features

• Designed to look right at any size, it collapses nicely!
• Throw up to 3 colours at it to make it fit your design

• Uses the XSPF (XML Sharable Playlist Format) so it's pretty portable
• Tiiiiiny size (<12Kb) for quick loading

Download

• Download (DTUNE) v 0.9.2
  including the flash sources
• Read the changelog
• Browse the (DTUNE) folder - for the curious

Demos

Each of the following examples uses my XSPF playlist on isafox.com, and I will show the different functions of the player!

By default...

• It will have a lovely Brown, White and Black colour scheme
• It will try to load an XSPF file on the root of the domain, ie: "/xspf.xml"
• It will have the isafox specific "Add to my playlist" button.

All of which can be changed or overridden.

The HTML

<object data="/dtune/dtune.swf?xspf=http://david.isafox.com/xspf.xml&a=999999&b=FFFFFF&c=000000&disableAdd=true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="488" height="148">
  <param name="movie" value="/dtune/dtune.swf?xspf=http://david.isafox.com/xspf.xml&a=999999&b=FFFFFF&c=000000&disableAdd=true&" />
</object>

As you can see, the passed variables: xspf, a, b, c and disableAdd effect the way that the player works and looks:

• xspf should point to your XSPF playlist file
• a, b and c are 3 hex colours to customize the player
• disableAdd removes the isafox specific "add to my playlist" link.

At various sizes!

280 x 148 is the smallest it can be while still showing all the features (like the graphic and playlist title)

As I say, it's been designed to look good at pretty much any size you care to give it, collapsing smoothly to maximise it's functionality

Crossdomain policy files

Firstly, if you dont know what they are, Colin mook explains crossdomain.xml files quite nicely, so that's a goood starting point. But simply put, if you are loading your XML files from a different domain than the SWF file is hosted, then you will need a crossdomain policy file to allow you to do so!

For example, the isafox policy file allows all sites (the * is a wildcard), so I can link to them from here OK, or you can link to them from your site (when testing or maybe you want to host your music on isafox), so that's cool!
