Streaming MP3 files
Several months ago I started linking to sample MP3 files, when I write about music I’m listening to. Since then I’ve been looking for a simple way to add a Flash player to stream those files right from the page. Today I found a post by someone who discovered the Google player used in Gmail can be used on any website.
Update, July 13: It seems Google has changed the parameters of the player and it no longer works properly. The good news is I have found a decent player which I can install on this site.
What Light by Wilco (mp3) (from the band’s website)
Above is the Audio Player developed by Martin Laine. It’s available as a WordPress plugin, and a standalone player (which is what I’m using).
By the way, the song “What Light,” is from Sky Blue Sky, Wilco’s excellent new release.
