Re: FLASH: Music Player

[Gregg Caines]

I haven't seen one, but it's totally possible...


There are serverside programs that can convert MP3s to SWFs

on demand, and you can use 'load movie' to play the song from

another SWF (which would be the player, with the pause, 

fast-forward buttons, etc...).


I think the cheapest one would be Flash turbine at

http://www.blue-pac.com/


though I haven't had any experience with it.


Of course the music is contained within an SWF, but I'm not quite 

sure why that would be a problem... It streams as well as any other 

streaming technology AFAIK, and would cost a lot less than a full 

blown realmedia or windows media server.
