I have been doing some dabbling with several embeded mp3 players and have found 2 that work well with our site. It is sometimes hard to get embedded audio to work with this VBulletin software. These little players work very well.

Google Reader MP3 Player

Google Reader has an inbuilt MP3 player that is pretty much the same as Gmail player but it also works on non-Google websites. This player has volume controls, no Google branding and it auto-detects the duration of the music file so your readers know how long the song will last. Here’s a live example followed by the HTML embed code:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 " width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />

To use this MP3 player on your post, copy-paste the following code and replace the [http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 "]with the link to your MP3 file. I have also found that for this forum, you need to leave a space at the end before the end quote.

<div class="codebox">&lt;embed type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; src=&quot;http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=<strong>http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 </strong>&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;27&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;never&quot; quality=&quot;best&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot; wmode=&quot;window&quot; flashvars=&quot;playerMode=embedded&quot; /&gt;</div>


Yahoo! MP3 Player

To use this player, copy & paste the code substituting http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 with your MP3 file URL

<embed src="http://webjay.org/flash/dark_player" width="400" height="40" wmode="transparent" flashVars="playlist_url=http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 "&amp;skin_color_1=-145,-89,-4,5&skin_color_2=-141,20,0,0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />

<div class="codebox">&lt;embed src="http://webjay.org/flash/dark_player" width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;40&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; flashVars=&quot;playlist_url=<strong>http://www.intergate.com/~cccp/audio/Devil.mp3 </strong>&amp;amp;skin_color_1=-145,-89,-4,5&amp;skin_color_2=-141,20,0,0&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; /&gt; </div>
