FlamePlayer

[daftdate]

Was doing a search on google for free flash mp3 players and came up with this one.

http://flamplayer.com/flam_player/flam_player_content/player_demo.htm

Havent had a chance to play with it yet as ive only just downloaded it and im not quite sure how to integrate it with my site yet, but as a freebie I thought it looked like a good free fully customizable player.

Yes, this is a good one... I paid $30 for the one with no backlinks and I love it.  Works great.  To use it in TP, just put the code that you generate in the admin area in an article.  Add a link to it in menu manager and you are good to go.

am currently in the pocess of uploading all my tracks to my host before uploading the player.

Cool, you will really like it.  It is the best I have found.

So ive uploaded all my music files and then configured my player but I dont know how to put the damn thing in an article as I havent used articles before. 

This is the code it gave me for integration

Well thats weird my player gives me the option under the admin section of creating an html page for me
so I did this and then put a link to the page in my menu but when i launch the player I just get a blank player with no play list
I checked my database to see if the tables had been created and the music and author details are in there so it
has access to my database so im flumuxed.

Copy and paste your code (below) into an article. The <div> will center the player in your article. 

Add a link to the article in the menu manager.

Code Select Expand

If it still doesn't work, you have something wrong with the folder setup, paths or settings.. the above code will work provided everything is setup correcty.  It has been so long since I set this up, I can't remember all of the steps.  If you need more help let me know and I'll get into it some more.

[daftdate]

I think im going to give up on it ive tried everything, checked the database and the tables are there, made sure I had chmoded the files it told me to 777 which I have, even ripped some new tracks specificaly as MP3's just incase i hadnt ripped the previous tracks correctly and ftped them up and added them into the database using the flamplayer admin page and everythings great but still cant get any bloody tracks to show up and play in the player.  had enough, am going to go stick my head in a bucket and leave the world alone. 

[daftdate]

Apparently its not me thats the problem with the flamplayer I emailed the developers and they tested my site and its a security issue on my server so its the hosts measures  im going to have to get on to them and see what can be done cause ive tried 3 different players and didnt know what was wrong before.  Well at least I now know I'm not going completely insane 

[Rocket]

wow, that sucks.  I suppose there is some comfort in knowing you are not completely insane...
