Instructions on how to put a flash mp3 player on your page

I know there is a lot of people that dont know even the basics so if you know what a url is skip this to the next step

url is the address where a page, site, song etc. example (this urls dont work just examples)
- http://www.belladonnasdarkgraphics.com/music.mp3 thats the url of a song
- http://www.belladonnasdarkgraphics.com/player.swf thats the url of a player
- http://www.belladonnasdarkgraphics.com/playlist.xml thats the url to a xml file that is the playlist for your player
this is the urls you need to be familiar with because you are gonna use similar urls to make your player
Download the player you want you can use one of mine or if you dont find what you like here you can try other good site that have jeroens players like Pyros mp3's really cool players, Red Dragon Designs is a large extention of goth players or mp3 help you can find them on my affiliates
theres 2 ways of downloading a player first is just click download and get the zip file the 2^nd is right click a player and save target as it depends on how the site has it set up.

for the first way you will need a zip program to unzip the file some of you have it some dont but here you can get a it Here

once its downloaded make sure you put the swf & the xml files in a folder just to keep it clean
now you will need to upload the songs you want in a player to a site that offers free hosting for mp3 music. you will need to create an account in one of these site to be able to upload your music

For the best paid hosting, check out Dreamhost. Use the link below to go there and enter the promo code and get a discount!

once your song is uploaded it will give you an url sometimes it gives you the url with an image code just take that out. wrong way [img]url[/img] right way just the url. you can copy all the urls the host gives you and put them in a notepad file that way when you make the xml you will have your urls in order.

how to make the xml; right click on your xml file and open with notepad and you will see something like this
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  
  <player showDisplay="yes" showPlaylist="no" autoStart="yes">
  
  <song path="this is were the url goes" title="song name" />
  
  </player>
you can repete the songs code for as many songs you want put in.
ones your xml file is ready you can upload it to your host site just like you did with your songs and once you get the xml & the swf url's you are gonna put the in this code

<embed src="url for the swf" menu="false" quality="high" width="300" height="320" name="index" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=url for the xml file goes here&
ShowEQ=1&initVol=100" wmode="transparent"></embed>

once your urls are in it is ready to put it on your profile or site =)
