Embeding Winamp in HTML file

[tsargs]

Hi,

I hope one of you brilliant minds out there can help me as I have exhausted all resources to figure this problem out. What I'm trying to do is real simple:

I've created an enhanced CD of my music. The enhanced CD launches a html file with information, etc on the artist. What I want to also include is an audio player on the html page that will play the audio tracks found on the CD while the viewer browses through the enhanced portion of the CD.

I really hope one of you has the sollution to this. I've tried embedding Windows Media player and getting it to play the files but it just doesn't work!!!

I'm frustrated and really, really hope there's a means for achieving this. Thanks in advance if you can offer me a solution other than to go shoot myself in the head (which, by the way, I'm seriously considering at this very instance!!!!).

Winamp cannot be embedded into HTML.

I suppose you are using autorun.inf on CD root dir to open your html file. (the autorun.inf thing isn´t cross plataform so it will only work on windows)

Have you tried two "open" statements ? somwething like:

autorun.inf
[autorun]
open = file.htm
open = file.mp3

If it works, OS will open the default browser then the default media player (and you don´t need to embed nothing).

If it doesn´t accept 2 "open" statements you can try open = file.bat

file.bat
@echo off
file.htm
file.mp3

Anyway, I´m only guessing... So don´t expect it to work.

there is a javascript version of winamp that you can personally skin. ill get it for you.

You will need some mad programming skills to get it all together. Like how to edit JavaScript and change the grpahics. You can download the Winamp Base skin if you really want it from the development section.

Thanks for all your help guys. I'm try playing with the javascript winamp. Thanks once again. I've tried the *.inf as well as *.bat. The inf works but tts not what i want. I want the user to run the music straight off the html page.

I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. Perhaps I'll even mail you guys a copy of the cd if you're interested. Don't worry it's FREE!

Thanks once again.

Free CD allright. But that means giving out my physical home address to a stranger on the net and last time that happened had mixed results... :P

Hi,

Don't worry. If you're paranoid about giving out your address I'll just post an mp3 version on the net.

Anyways I tried working with the Java Winamp. Can't get it to work the way I want. I think I might just give up trying to embed a player into the html page.

If one of you figures out a solution do let me know. I'm willing to give anything a try right about now.

Why you don't use Flash?

I have a player in Flash, see attachment.

Send me a private message for that if you want.

Hi,

Thanks for posting a reply. That's really cool. Is there any way to program the player to specifically play cd-audio? If you've read my earlier post you'll know that I'm trying to create an enhanced cd of my work. Upon insertion, the Autorun will launch a html page and I want the player embedded in the page to run the cd-audio (cda file format) to play automatically on this player. It's ok if the files don't play automatically but atleast the user should be able to hit "play" and the files on the cd will play. Hope you get what I'm saying. Let me know if this player can do that. The java winamp can't do that for sure. Thanks once again. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers!
